Simple question and simple answer requested.
What is going to happen to the coin, currency, and bullion sellers when all sellers are forced into managed payments, when they can't use managed payments for payment?

It appears that ebay has relaxed the prohibition on lottery tickets as there are
now over 100 Safeway Monopoly tickets listed. Could you confirm this?

when did the 10¢ charge for scheduling the posting of an item start? I know that was true 10 years ago, but there was no charge since then...until last week.

Are there any plans being made to display the actual price with applicable taxes after an item is searched or at the very list when a bid is about to be placed? I won an auction last week and paid for it and I wasn't shown the price I actually paid with tax until several hours after payment had been submitted. This is extremely frustrating and causing me to look elsewhere for items I would normally buy on ebay. Thanks for listening.

I would also appreciate some clarity on this issue.

You have a store and stores get charged for scheduling.
Been that way for a long time if you don't use a third party listing tool.

Realized only this week that MP sellers can now use funds from pending payments to front shipping costs. Is this a permanent 'bump-up'?

Recently got an offer to have a store free for 2 months. The 2 months runs until April 7th...but the store will renew April 1st. How will that work? Am I going to be charged April 1st?

Hello eBay,
I have my listing set for same day shipping with cut off time of 10:00 AM EST. I can't figure out how my listings are showing customers I will ship same day if they buy and pay before 5:00PM EST? I have confirmed my cut off time is 10AM EST.

It displays on the invoice before you click on the Pay button.

Thank you for sharing this. That is really good news. It has been something they said was coming, it is really good to know it is here. Thank you again.

Another easy one for you - I do not like getting an 'are you still interested...' email on an item I have reported for a policy violation 😀
Could you suggest to the marketing types to find a way to avoid this? The latest was just an expired food product - not a high value target for removal - so I understand why it hasn't been removed. But to suggest that i might want to buy it is a bit annoying!
thanks,
Sue

It didn't for me and also displayed as $29 in my Orders section for at least an hour until it finally updated to $31.32
