Hello.
Just curious about your selling experience with eBay's new policy with not going through PayPal. I recently sold an item, but, before I agreed to the new "policy", I had no idea that it would take more than five to six "business days - Saturday and Sunday are not included", to receive payment of what I sold. Plus, they also put my balance of what was owed the previous month towards the sale!
I had listed the item I sold as 1 day handling - I won't ship the item until I receive my payment from eBay - if I do. I feel like I can't trust their system anymore - they keep changing things.
If I don't receive my money within the next "3 to 4 business days", my buyer may never buy from me again, or, will give me a poor rating.
I've also pulled the majority of my listings off of eBay. I can sell them somewhere else and not have to worry about "commission" fees. Tired of that too.
They also never used to charge to auction - if you wanted to have a reserve price, it costs $5.00???????
Just curious as to what people think about this "new great policy" because you can't go through PayPal anymore.

I can’t link pay pal to my eBay account. My payments also are pending too long!

It works fine for me.
I ship the same or next day.
I chose weekly payouts and they send the funds on Tuesdays and the funds are in my account Wednesday morning.

So you didn't read everything, blame eBay for your lack of reading, and are punishing your buyer by not shipping on time... Which will actually get your account in trouble because of late shipping defects.
There has been a fee for using a reserve on auctions for several years now. Again, lack of reading on your part because it will tell you all your fees when you hit the listing button.
Enjoy what time you have left here.

@barbaralee-incthat's because you are in managed payments PayPal can no longer be linked.

Impossible to contact EBay by phone. They say they’ll call me but they use a number that was changed MANY YEARS AGO!

Is there a way to still use PayPal for items for sale and to buy?
