How can i go Ahead?????

[wlankanatha]

As a New Starter do i have to wait for the Payoneer or can i connect with Paypal and go ahead? 

If i wait a few weeks, will they not be automatically introduce to me the Payoneer as a payment method? 

What i want to do for this? Patience or Getting started?

I would check this guy out on youtube.  He knows quite a bit.

His latest video "how to buy ebay" teaches you how you can buy the ebay company with no money down.

Since you can't receive money through Pay Pal, you'll have to wait.

I give you credit Ken, to remain so serious and helpful to these Sri Lankan guys who come in here every day and ask the same questions over and over again.  You're going to heaven.    😉

Because you registered this account in the US, it is unlikely eBay can invite you to managed payments, as in the US they only use Adyen, and you must use Payoneer.

Maybe try opening a genuine account in Sri Lanka and see if that helps. You need to open a Payoneer account first, and then eBay does the rest - IF it is legal for you to open the account.

When you type i please use caps for i it should be I. You cannot use PayPal as a seller on ebay these days.

@downunder-61, this reply is incorrect. Everything we can see shows that the OP's account is registered correctly, and eBay has been inviting Sri Lankan sellers to register for managed payments. Some of them have been activated and are selling with managed payments and Payoneer already.

@wlankanatha is registered in Sri Lanka, as you can see on their Feedback profile page.

There is no eBay website in Sri Lanka. Many countries do not have an eBay website based there. Those sellers can register on any of the other websites and list items to sell there. Many (probably most) international sellers register on eBay.com because it is set up to support them as international, global sellers. @wlankanatha registered on ebay.com which is shown here:

There is a special section on the ebay.com website for global sellers who are registered in other countries: https://export.ebay.com/en/

@wlankanatha, your account appears to be registered correctly. You registered on www.ebay.com, and your registered address is shown as being in Sri Lanka.

In Sri Lanka, you can only use a Paypal account to send money or payments. The Sri Lankan government does not allow you to receive funds to a PayPal account. So you will not be able to sell and receive payments to a PayPal account legally.

You will have to register for managed payments and provide a Payoneer account to receive your payments. After that, you will have to wait, probably for a few weeks, until your account is activated for managed payments. eBay will let you know a few days ahead when that is going to happen. Some other sellers in Sri Lanka have already been able to start selling and receiving payments with managed payments and Payoneer. I believe this means that Payoneer has been able to meet the requirements in Sri Lanka to allow you to legally receive payments.

Here is more information about using Managed Payments for global sellers:

it pays to help folks who have an interest in selling

2 months ago we were all sort of dismissing  payoneer as if it were a mythical creature

payoneer does appear to be the way forward /go between with MP

Indonesia is actively courting sellers with it from what I have read on the boards.

many small countries with no use for paypal have a chance at getting in on the action now with payoneer as a steping stone to sucess with MP/ebay

as lacemaker has pointed out, this is a huge rollout with payoneer

I think its beneficial to have an understanding of alternate payment forms in foreign countries

only time will tell if this is the newest latest greatest  thing in some countries

Thank You for advising

According to your idea ebay will give us to Manage Payment automatically within few weeks. After that we can start selling on ebay...

And I have to ask something according to this subject

There are some rumors among our Sri Lankan Community If you are getting started to sell on ebay don't wait for manage payment, you can go ahead  through pay pal and after that ebay  will introduce Manage Payment. Then you can register Payoneer as a payment option..

Is that correct?

People in Sri Lanka can't use Pay Pal to receive money.

@wlankanatha, no, that isn't correct.

There are two problems for you if you try to register an account with PayPal:

1. In Sri Lanka, people are only allowed to use PayPal to send payments. You're not allowed to receive payments to a PayPal account. It is against law, and we can't advise you to break the law in your own country. That would be wrong.
   
   
2. eBay has discontinuing the use of PayPal as a payment processor. Beginning this month, new selling accounts have to register with managed payments right from the start. Some older accounts that are already using PayPal may be able to continue for a little while longer, but new accounts have to start with managed payments from the beginning. ALL sellers will be using managed payments by the end of this year, 2021.

May I ask you something? How does the Sri Lankan community find out about, and learn about eBay? Is there a forum for you to  discuss it, or where do you get classes about this?
