ebay managed payments - anyone using this future mandatory service yet?

[xplainer]

Not sure how all this will work out.
I did go ahead and create a CashApp and Venmo accounts. Both have debit cards for cash access.
Been using them on various websites to sell and been pretty easy and smooth.
I also like the fact they are right on my phone for easy access.

I don't sell a lot on ebay anymore due to the scams and shams they happens.

I think the end of the month is when they change takes place.

It's happening as we speak. It won't let me list anymore.

Wow.
What are the payment options?
Is there a new registration process?

The new payments options are you sign up with Ebay and let them manage your payments. That is it. They have officially kicked Paypal to the curb.

They haven’t contacted me about this. I sold an item yesterday and was paid with PayPal.

Same.....it doesn't affect anything you already have listed. If you haven't signed up for their new "managed payments" yet, then you are officially done on Ebay - at least as far as selling goes.

I am hitting that wall now as well for new listings. Watching some Good 'Til Cancelled listings that are due to renew for another 30 days later today to see what happens with those. This in advance of the stated July 15 deadline to sign up.

I also got an "Independence Day" offer of a $50 invoice credit if I would go ahead and sign up for MP before July 10, which implies a certain amount of desperation on eBay's part.

I don't know what's going to happen "in late July" (still annoyed that there is not a definitive date the axe is set to fall), but it's sure to be a mess.

Most definitely. I never signed up, but they turned my ability to list back on. On both accounts. And yes, both got the letter telling me I HAD to sign up.

Well I let the $50 invoice credit slide by, and today is the deadline for me to sign up. So far, I still cannot add new listings, but those that were on Good 'Til Cancelled are rolling over to another 30 day cycle without issue. There has been no noticeable change in the rate of sales for those fixed price listings, though I haven't been running auctions in the interim. Still waiting this one out to see how it all goes down. My curiosity is worth more than the $50 credit at this point.

For anyone looking to make the switch, from what I have heard, you would do well to verify in advance that your name and address associated with your checking account match exactly what you have registered with eBay (easiest to modify your eBay registration to match). Otherwise, even if only a middle initial is different, they start asking for additional information to verify you are who you say you are, and the array of hoops you have to jump through gets longer.

Never have a seen a company make it so difficult to do business with them.

Almost as if they were watching my posts here, I got an e-mail with this header within minutes of my last post:

Final Reminder: You cannot create new listings after July 15th

They haven't allowed me to create new listings for 2 weeks now. Still waiting to see what changes tomorrow...

eBay just threw a bone out to all sellers. Sellers on their Managed Payments program get even more...10k more fixed price listings per month for basic store subscribers (like me) in select categories. Yes...select categories do include sports cards and collectibles. Now I'm just waiting on their next email to say that store subscriptions are being increased.
