Ebay Switching from PayPal to Direct Payments using Bank Accounts?? RIDICULOUS!!!!

OK, Is this for real? Ebay seems to be ditching Paypal for sellers and wanting to use my Bank Account to manage payments. Ebay wants my Bank Account information???  Forget IT Ebay!!! I am NOT (repeat NOT) giving you my Bank account info to manage my payments!!   I have been perfectly happy with payments being made thru Paypal over the years and if ebay cannot continue this then I will move to another platform.  

Please respond if you are in agreement!

P.S., You're seeing the leftovers from a seller that hasn't been allowed to list anything since October.

And at least you can see what I sell. I'm not hiding myself here on the forums, like SOME people.

The same way some sellers still don't know they can't give buyers a negative feedback.


 

And being switched to the Sellers Hub, which we were told a few years a go it was going to happen.

Have a great day.

You're special. And I don't mean that in a good way.

Maybe ebay should have a help and contact section and a forum.


 

Do you think that would help? 😀

Have a great day.

You think I’m giving my selling ID to people that believe that they are going to lead a successful class action lawsuit against eBay? That eBay is specifically targeting them for throttled sales?  That any foreigner is a scammer?  Some people on here are delusional and vindictive - I don’t invite delusional and vindictive into my life.

You do realize the money isn't safe for 6 months if they pay with Pay Pal or a credit card, right?

Have a great day.

Maybe people shouldn't post things that make other people want revenge.

It doesn’t take much to set off some in the doom and gloom crew - just disagreeing is a call to action.  For people intent on controlling the narrative, a rational counter their bold-font histrionics is a threat.

People are too paranoid these days. Too busy looking down at their i-phones to talk to the person next to them. You see it at the doctor's office, stores, work, etc. People only communicate with the internet these days, and it's really sad.

Basically, I'm answering eBay. eBay took these steps. eBay decided this path. eBay BLEW their DONIMATING opportunity in the marketplace to Amazon. They have no clue what they are doing, and it's been obvious for many years. And I'm supposed to give them my bank info?

You're supposed to give them bank info, yes, but no one says it has to be your personal account. If you're running a business, even a small one, it only makes sense to have a separate account for it, so you're not intermingling funds with your personal money. I don't sell on Amazon, but I assume I would need to give them much the same info about myself as what eBay asks for here. I use a credit union checking account for my sales, with no connection to my family funds at another bank.

 

Is there anything preventing you from selling on both sites?

If you haven't been able to list since October, why on earth are you not already on Amazon?

You could have at least made 1 or 2 sales in the past 6 months there.
