eBay

Is ebay going to increase the payouts options? Right now it is daily or weekly. I am a small time seller. Those options don't fit my needs. I would like the funds to sit in my account until I am ready to send them to the bank. I like to reach a certain dollar amount and then make the transfer. Or it would be nice to have a monthly or quarterly option.

If your bank has a limit on how many deposits to checking they are going to allow in one month - find another bank. Otherwise it only makes sense to take in your cash as soon as it is available to you.

OP didn't mention anything about being limited on deposits by his bank.

He wants to know if he can choose to receive his payouts less frequently and I, for one, can agree with him. Just as the current options aren't optimal for his payouts, they aren't exactly optimal for my payouts and if I could choose a monthly payout instead, I would. But I can't and until I can, I'll make do.

Everyone has different needs. OP has said that the current daily or weekly choices don't meet his/her needs, but as I'm sure someone will point out soon, they will just have to learn to live with it.

I'm also pretty sure that she/he will find a way to make do until other options are offered to us.

Been here for 24 years, and also would like the option to deposit my money from, let's call it my eBay account, to my bank account at will, not on their set schedule, with the same flexibility I had with Paypal.

I also don't understand why when I print mailing labels, the money still comes out of my Paypal account while all the funds are being deposited into my checking, something that creates just one more regular money transfer for me, now from my checking to Paypal to make sure any future shipping costs are covered. Not very efficient.

Unfortunately, after almost a quarter of a century watching eBay implement new strategies, its become really apparent to me that whenever they implement a new system, it's super buggy and the people implementing those strategies are not people who make a living selling on the platform. Just watch the fallout from their new Spring update when it comes to the sports cards, comics and books categories. It's gonna be a doozy, says the old veteran. I miss when you could just email Pierre 🙂

Thanks for your response. About the labels, I'm not sure if you already know this, but if you scroll to the bottom of the screen when purchasing a label, you can select to pay for the label out of paypal or out of your pending balance. Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for your response. Hopefully, more options are added in the future as soon as the roll out to all users is completed. My transition to managed payments has been smooth. The lack of payout options is my only complaint.
