I had been using QR codes to have the post office print my shipping labels. Then I got an email from ebay saying I must go through this registration process to be enrolled in Managed Payments. So I went through asking me about addresses and other stuff. Hence forth I no longer got my QR codes emailed to me on my phone. Worked on my Windows laptop but not the phone. I had to either forward the emails to my phone (and sometimes that didn't work} or lug my laptop up to the post office counter. This caused delays and confusion that led me to send the wrong item to a customer. I ate the loss and refunded the customer.
Then I got a defect for late delivery. Shipped on time. Covid slowed everything down, but I got the blame.
Then ebay's callback service wasn't there. I'm guessing since India is getting so hard hit by pandemic, they closed their call centers down. Just guessing. But I managed to get an email through and was assured all but one of my defects could be cancelled. Then right after that, ebay started tackling my listings down because of my defects. Ebay is broken and I have no way of reaching them. One communication was answered followed by cutting my inventory in half. They could at least tell me how many items I'll be left with so I can selectively relist some. This all started with Managed Payments. Not all caused by that, but ebay seems to have not been all there since them, making it all but impossible to even try to recover my rating.
My theory is that when ebay had me answer all those questions they already had answers to in order to enlist me in Managed Payments, something got garbled in my email account and QR codes became a PITA. The rest may be due to covid measures and yes, there was one purchase I messed up by listing two of something I only had one of. But I persevered and compensated the buyer and they seemed alright with it.
