Hi,
I have 2 follow up questions on the per item managed payment transaction fee -
It was stated that it will be 1 charge per items number. Is this true when it is a variations listing, and the buyer purchases more than 1 variation of the same item number?
What is the current target date for site-wide implementation of managed payments? The last info I could find was "early 2021".
thanks!
Sue

In the last seller update, they left a very tantalizing tease/twist under seller protection.
Your track record matters
This summer, we will announce new seller protections that will be based on your track record and how we will protect you when you provide great service to buyers.
Any idea when this might happen? Or when we might learn more?
Hi @golfingaddict, nothing more specific to share at this time, but rest assured you will get updates this summer

While I'm firmly against this transaction fee. Ebay [to my knowledge] is the ONLY site charging such a fee. It is easiest to think about it by listing number. If a buyer purchases several items from the same listing or variation listings, that is ONE transaction fee. But if they purchase from several different listings, that is several different transaction fees.

When Managed payments first came out I enrolled. After a few weeks, I changed back to paypal.
About a month ago, I signed into my account and an invitation to enroll again. I went through the process to enroll and it gave me what I thought was a note of success (saying my listings were changing over) but nothing has happened. When I try to contact the help/contact on the managed payment flow, all it does is invite me to add my name to the waiting list.
do you know who I should contact or how I can actually speak with someone about this?
Thank you.
Hi @golfingaddict, you'd need to call customer support for assistance with this. If they aren't able to resolve the issue then they will be able to transfer you to the payments team.
Tagging onto the issue you state. This is what I've ran across recently while searching for something. I had the filter set for US sellers only.

Hi @wooden_flower!
1. A variations listing only has 1 item number, so if a buyer purchased 3 variations of the same item it would still only be the 1 item number.
2. There isn't a more specified date other than '2021' for implementation of eBay managed payments.
