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

[Jewish-collector]

I'm confused. I have NOT gotten any messages at all about managed payments. Do I still need to worry about it ?

Haven't made the switch yet. The information I have been seeing is saying that everyone will be switched by year end.

Big problem - you cannot sell in all categories if you accept managed payments!! The 2 that affect me are 1) no adults only listings and 2) no coins and paper money!!! There are others - I do not remember them.

Irony is I read a Q & A a while ago addressing this exact point which Ebay replied to at that point that you would be able to sell in all categories and nothing would change.

I sent them a question addressing it directly and I got back a response essentially mirroring the info I had read - apologizing for the "inconvenience" and stating they are working to make the MP program more inclusive.

Those categories are a small % of what I sell and I'm not happy about it, what are the coin dealers going to do!!??

Not yet. Ebay will give you notice via e-mail and incessant on-site messages when you're to be included in the next wave.

I read that eBay currently has 50,000 sellers who are using the Managed Payments, and they have another 250,000 who are registered. eBay wants to complete the 250,000 before the end of July, before they start the next wave.

eBay just activated my account for managed payments. Fingers crossed!

May you not got screwed over!!! Here's hoping you don't!!

Well, not exactly the day 1 I was hoping for. I am unable to print eBay shipping labels. Their customer service agent says it's unrelated to the cut-over to the managed payments program, but I was not having any issues prior. Anyone else experiencing issues printing eBay labels?

I have been switched over and can print labels fine. I still haven't seen any money from sales yet but did get a email that money was being send to my bank.
