This did NOT happen. I know a few sellers have said this on a few threads, but it isn't accurate.
Ebay and PP were under contract from their split in June of 2015. It was a 5 year contract that ended in June of 2020. In that contract there were stipulations that Ebay could not process any more than 10% of the sites sales via other means other that PP. That was to protect PP's viability after the split and without risk of losing Ebay's business as it was a big part of PP at the time.
For PP they were restricted from servicing certain sites in this contract. Now everyone is free from it. Ebay can move forward with their money processing program and PP is free to do business with whomever they choose.
There was a contract extension between Ebay and PP which ensures that PP will provide buyer and seller services on Ebay through 2023. It is likely that contract will be renewed again, but of course we need to wait until the date gets closer.
PP still does a very good business here, so they are any no rush to leave Ebay and Ebay is well aware that most buyers use PP. So it is still a good business deal for both companies.
Some posters just say differently because they are mad about MP and they made some assumptions which are incorrect.

Your posse started riding out a year and a half ago. Some had no choice, some went quietly into the night, Of course this salloon’s been been shot up a few times by the real fighters.
But it’s how it will be here up to the end of 2021 when everyone will be switched over.Shows how much I know. I thought it was Dec 31st for everyone. Because even my smaller account here just got put on MP notice.
There's a whole other year of PayPal for the smaller sellers?
Not exactly. Not all sellers will be in MP by the end of the year. There will still be others that move in next year. Ebay's goal is to have everyone in MP by the end of 2021. They still have some stuff to work in in a handful of categories that they can't currently support in MP, so those sellers are staying with PP until that can be resolved.
@dryophelia wrote:Yes, their timeline for getting all sellers into MP is the end of next year. I'm not sure if they are leaving the little sellers until last. I think it's random who gets picked for the next round.
They aren't. Small and casual sellers make up about 80% of the Ebay sellers. Most of the sellers you see on the boards fall into that category. Sometimes a larger seller pops in and it is always interesting to get their perspective, but it is mostly small sellers on the boards.

Ebay is a for profit company. Their desire to make a profit is no more greedy than the desire sellers have to make a profit on what they sell. Profit is not a dirty word. To profit isn't greedy, it is what every single one of us is here for. But for some reason when Ebay makes a profit it is some kind a dirty word or dastardly in some way. That simply doesn't make sense.
And some of the same people that call Ebay "greedy" for wanting to make a profit, are among those that will slam Ebay when their financial statements don't show as high of a profit as they feel they should be showing in comparison to some other company.
Seems like a vicious circle to me.
