eBay is 2 faced pretends to be in our best interest but clearly only out for themselves. i  want my control of my $$ back in my hands as well  !!!!!! 🤨

I don't know djpaul44, but PayPal has left the  building. Good luck.

I don't know how ebay pretends to be in your best interests, they are a publicly traded for profit corporation looking to maximize their profits

Their best interests, not yours or mine, that's management's job

Paypal is gone for good, you just need to adjust to the new payment system

You have a good ebay biz going, keep it up

Hopefully you can find a different selling platform that is better aligned with your needs/demands as a Seller.

Moving foward, the only option here is MP.

And I control my money.  I set my own prices, decide where to ship.  Know my fees upfront (minus fedex/ups)

These posts always seem like the Cartel have taken over and Guido is down by the docks.

You know I read these posts all the time. If you don't think ebay has control of your money, you may want to read more posts like I do. They can delay your payments. They can hold your payments. They can take back your payments. For what ever reasons they have, ebay will control your money. There is no way that ebay can not control your money. Looks pretty simple to me.

Paypal can do that, too.  I've known people who had their funds frozen for six months because they ran sales and had higher than average sales volume. Paypal deemed it "suspicious" and froze their entire account and all the money in it for six months.  Some carried on just fine because they had backup plans and reserve cash. A couple lost their businesses completely because they didn't.

I have no idea why so many sellers think Paypal is looking out for them. Paypal is looking out for themselves, not for you.

Been here going on 18 years.

Can only speak for me.

Have had no issues with MP since last October.  The 1 chargeback, while stressful, e-Bay let me keep my $290.  The 2 disputes, e-Bay protected me as a TRS. 

Am I unhappy about the fraud?  You bet. 

But fraud on here is not what the OP's post implies.  If you have specific "real" issues with MP, then I am all ears.

These general statements like the world has ended due to MP is tiring. 

Spend 1 day with me on Amazon and e-Bay looks like utopia. 

[sunking1]

The OP was not referring to paypal.

[sunking1]

The OP had real issues with MP. He said he wants control of his money back. I guess that means he feels ebay can control his money? That is not in dispute.

[katzrul15]

Really?

You must just really want to argue.  OP's post is a mini-rant with no specifics at all.  A baiter post.  How would you know what the OP is really saying?

You mistake me for someone who will argue with you just for the sake of arguing.

I will say it again- if "you" had a specific issue with MP, let's hear it.

Otherwise, the troll booth is 2 doors down.  You'll easily recognize it.

They always could do all that. 

[sunking1]

I'm not arguing. I'm just repeating what the OP said.

But that's the problem..

The OP didn't really say anything..

It was a run-by ranting with no details on what happened or how anyone here can advise & help them..

If wishes were horses beggars would ride

[sunking1]

He's making a statement.  He is not asking for help or advice.
