Why did eBay turn on auto pay and not tell sellers?? Auto pay is a convenience that most companies offer not try and make you opt into. By not telling sellers this is just what they’ve done. Many sellers have no clue it’s on. I don’t want eBay holding my payment info. So I like checking out by interning my info and check the box don’t hold. How many more like me that won’t bid when this is on. You have to ask yourself why they didn’t give sellers a option to turn this on there self’s.
