Great explanation! Thanks!

We ought to start a thread with a list of all the sellers in the Managed Payments so ALL buyers could take advantage of the discount if they so wished.

Probably not the biggest offense I'll have committed against me today, so I'll probably end up just letting it go . . . LOL!

Try adding "&LH_ManPay=1" (without the quotes) to the end of the search URL. Seemed to work for a quick test I did.

@berserkerplanet, I tried that but without any luck. I searched for an obscure brand name, and found 73 results. Adding that to the URL, I still got the same 73 results, and all of the listings I checked accepted PayPal, not Managed Payments.

>>I tried that but without any luck.

I messed up by not testing enough. It doesn't work 😞

This isn't the 1st time they have offered it

It was also covered on ecommercebytes  back at the beginning of Oct.
This is part of it

To overcome shoppers' resistance to using credit or debit cards instead of PayPal on managed payments listings, eBay is giving buyers a $5 "PICKFIVE" coupon. 

eBay began rolling out managed payments last week, and it excludes PayPal as a payment method until next summer.

I don't understand this promo at all. I have multiple buying and selling accounts on here and the only one that even received it was this mountainmommie account. It's like it picks certain accounts. Why not ALL my selling accounts or why NONE of my buying accounts. What is the criteria for this promo?

It initially offered me the ability to use PayPal but I didn't want to pay that way. I really don't know if it would have confirmed the PayPal payment seeing as my seller was already a managed payments seller.

Go figure.

I am in Managed Payments if you want to test any of my listings.

>>I am in Managed Payments if you want to test any of my listings.

Thank you. Unfortunately, testing consists of trial and error looking for an eBay search filter parameter that is undocumented as far as I can determine, and I suspect may not exist. I tried a few dozen possible, what I though might be likely variable names this afternoon, along with a dozen google searches, and have concluded that there probably isn't a managed payments web search filter (and there is no corresponding option in the eBay find api documentation)

Something just occurred to me: are sellers with their own merchant accounts going to be forced to use MP, or will it be similar to the situation today with merchant account/payment gateways and PayPal payment options? Since PayPal will supposedly remain an option, the search PayPal filter may not be deprecated, but I'm trying to figure out if there would be any reason to have a MP only filter since it will become the default.
