Good news story about a bank account switch for eBay payouts

If you've been reluctant to switch your payout destination because, like me, you are a big believer in Murphy's law, I am glad to share a positive experience. For the last 26 years I'd been using a credit union to receive my eBay payouts. Even though...

Funds on hold

Hold on funds

Started on Ebay back in the late ninties buying and then added selling in 2007 thru the Ebay-Paypal break-up. Always kept a 100% positive feedback but I left during the split and came back to buying/selling and I had funds held when I started back. W...

Hooray I have been with eBay for 20 years and....

it's coming to end very quickly between "customer service reps" who do not even use or know how eBay works from ads to payouts (don't even bring up auto-returns) much less a $2.00 fee because my identity was stolen, and I had forgot to put in a new c...

Can’t seem to use American Express even when paying with PayPal

Recently my payments for purchases when using PayPal have not been charged to my preferred payment method which is American Express when buying on eBay. When buying from other sites American Express is being charged. Has anyone else noticed this?
