Question Re: Managed payments. in Selling on eBay DND

Managed payments.

Can sellers opt out of the managed payments scheme? I don`t like Paypal but I prefer receiving all my payments through Paypal. because it`s better the devil you know. E-Bay ain`t gonna give the seller a better deal. Why all this interference? I don`t want E-Bay to manage my payments. I want to carry on with the current system.

Have E-Bay and Paypal fallen out? I hear they are no longer in each others pockets. E-Bay are just being vindictive towards Paypal. It`s pathertic.

No, you can't opt out of managed payments, at some point all sellers business and private will be moved over to it.

Have ebay & paypal fallen out?

They separated years ago and ever since then ebay has been working on bringing in it's own payment system and this is it.

There is one way to opt out of managed payments and that is to opt out of selling on ebay.

If the opt out of managed payments was there, how many sellers would go with the new system (presumably because they considered it would be to their advantage), and how many would choose to opt out.
With Paypal payments the seller can see exactly what they`ve sold for each payment they receive, and there`s a link on Paypal to provide the buyer with a refund, which can be in full or partial; it saves time.
Is the new system going to be more seller friendly or simply a way for E-Bay to muscle in on the fees Paypal currently charge?

I'm not sure why you're asking all these questions. Ebay has provided full information on Managed Payments. You can find it in the Seller Centre, and in the Help pages with their integral search. It tells you exactly how it works.

I was switched onto it a while ago, and it works very smoothly. You will only see complaints about it mainly from those who haven't bothered to properly read and follow clear instructions. But that's always the way, isn't it. It's always someone else's fault, never theirs!

If once you've done your homework you decide MP won't work for you, don't use it. Simply sell your stuff elsewhere. No point in moaning about it - Ebay is a business that sells a service, not a charitable organisation here for your convenience. You either buy the service they offer, or you don't.
