Hmm, OK, I was worried about that and I couldn't sleep well, thanks for letting us know.

Do explain. Are you referring to eBay getting rid of PayPal in favor of Managed Payments?

Are you referring to Managed Payments? (Which began about 2 years ago.)

I think OP is referring to The Vault.

Maybe they mean the new eBay vault for card sellers:

https://pages.ebay.com/vault/

 

I wonder if they'll get more actual card sellers or more car/trailer/boat/RV/whatever scammers transitioning to telling potential victims from Craigslist/FM/wherever their item is in the "eBay Vault" instead of in the "eBay Warehouse".

eBay is going or has been going into the next logical step from a site to a seller in all of it forms.   It is one definition of branding. Yes, managed payments is 1 step,  buying into Fun-POP , joint venture with a NFT are several others.  We have noticed that nobody has commented about the eBay shoe store.     Costco = Kirkland.    Open you eyes and look around eBay these days. It is beginning to look like a lot of other sales sites which means the you will see "eBay's  XXXX for sale on eBay and the seller will be eBay. Too many 80/20 ratios abound on eBay and eBay knows they can do better than thw 80. Those that know , know about the 80/20 rule.    eBay has had stagnate sales for a while, they have tried to do something about it but will always fail which it why it is a rule of life also .  How can selling the eBay house brand hurt. They have already tried to push "known" national brands . The issue is  is a ton of (xxxxx) on eBay.  Why does the 80 have the performance it does ?  The 80/20 rule is what life is all about.

 

80/20 is merely a concept the acual ratio depends once you understand it. ( ie 83/17 or 90/10 etc)
