Ebay Payment Methods

[prestigecollectibles]

I signed up for the new eBay payments last year and quickly got out of it. I did have a few lots that did not change back to PayPal and the buyer paid with his credit card. It took a week for me to receive the Amex payment. eBay does not send the payment to the sellers until they receive it from the credit card company. They better improve this before it becomes mandatory.

Some dealers stopped taking Paypal on Ebay when the new way came out, but most do and I get a Paypal option on them and still use Paypal for almost everything I buy.

eBay payments is trying to lure sellers with lower fees. They offer s flat percentage vs PayPal which is 30 cents plus 2.9% which is a killer for smaller transactions. When PayPal is gone I will be interested to see how long it takes eBay to raise fees to match that of PayPal and more.

I'm not personally a big user of Ebay as a seller or buyer because of Paypal. A couple of weeks ago I did purchase a card and was very happy to see I no longer was forced to use Paypal.

I think once more people learn about it the more you will see them opt in and appreciate the other payment types.

A few minutes ago I ordered 2 cards from Burbank Cards. They have 2.5 million items listed for sale. They no longer accept PayPal. I like PayPal, but Burbank can't accept it. I used my eBay bucks. There are a lot of scammers trying to steal account info from eBay and I don't want to use my credit card for my purchases.

This exactly. I have been using Paypal for many years with minimal hiccups.

I have also been using eBay for many years, but can't think of a single one for which I could say the same, especially in recent years.
