I understand that but she says she is not wanting to relist, or list anything new on Ebay anymore. Maybe she needs to cancel those listings instead of allowing Ebay to relist them for her.
I honestly don't think it is a big deal and certainly her business to do as she wishes. But she has also said she will sell until it come time that she has to enter MP. So she still has more than a month and a half.

I just wish ebay would hold off on managed payments to give sellers time to make a decision if they want to stay or go.
Yeah, I know we all knew managed payments were coming, but we didn't know the country was gonna get shut down right before then.
Going on 3 weeks that I asked an eBay employee questions about managed payments and nothing but crickets.
How much time is it that you think they should give?
Those of us that are going into MP in July got our first email in April. There have been a couple emails since then with more info. And this is something Ebay has told all of us is coming for about 3 years.
The Crickets thing is absolutely true. I did some work in that area today. If you have preregistered, then go to the Payment board just for MP and ask for permission to join the board. They won't approve you unless you have pre-registered. So do that first. That does NOT put you into MP yet. That isn't going to happen until July.
It only takes less than 60 seconds literally to do the pre-register process. You will however need the routing and account number for the checking account you want to attach to MP.

i saw enough a couple of months ago, and yeah, i said goodbye and it stands firm: goodbye eBay.
Your thread is quite large and i've read through it over the last couple of days, as it seems to be sticking in the first loadups.
i think i read more disdaining eBay posts than embracing eBay posts.
I did note some posts basically saying eBay is too big to fail. You know, like in loss some sellers, more will sign up, in which i'd sadly surmise, is very very true. But at some point in time the continuing dissatisfaction with eBay will cause irreversible damage. No business is too big to fail. And i doubt big brother will bail them out, but who knows, the politicians do chummy up with corporate weasels.
Best of luck to you
Well yes and no. Not everything on this thread about MP is accurate. Some is and some isn't. Some is assumptions and some is simply fear of the unknown. But Ebay doesn't help in this matter very much because they are so silent on anything to do with MP. They just are not forthcoming in helping us to better understand. They need to do a better job.
But with them trying to keep things close to the breast on this subject, it isn't likely that they are going to come to the Seller forum to answer questions. They are likely to keep it on the MP Payment board.

They should give as much time until EVERYTHING is re-opened. If I want to open a store now, I can't.
And I really want an ebay employee to answer me. Are you one?
I am not saying that it is right or that I support it. I simply gave you some information. You can do with it as you wish.
I'll leave you be. No worries, I won't try to help you again.
@coolections wrote:Yes, she can do as she pleases. I am just used to when people say they've had enough and goodbye usually that is when they walk out the door. She said she won't list anymore and let the rest run out on their own. GTC never runs out on their own so I guess it is just the way she worded the topic. She will have to let the items listed continue to roll over for another couple months then say goodbye.
It's a long thread. I've been here since the beginning. I think she has been pretty clear from the first page that she has multiple reasons for not liking it here anymore. One of those reasons being MP. And that she would be gone when it was time for her to enter that program. So new listings now makes perfect sense. She still has almost 2 months to move whatever stock she can here.
I just think you misunderstood or missed where she said MP was a factor in her decision.

Yes, true - BUT sellers are nothing without buyers. Buyers are leaving in scores, tired of being the victim of scammers.
False location sellers, fake tracking sellers, empty box sellers, crabby sellers who are afraid of being scammed.
Sellers signing up are pretty much all selling the same imported stuff. So, yes, there will always be new sellers, the same big box sellers will get bigger.
If you Google Ebay membership. Active membership. It doesn't support your statement.
