new style paypal payments through ebay

[pobbledee]

Occasionally recently when purchasing more than one item, I have to go through the payment setup twice - why?

I particularly don't like the payment which states Ebay UK on your credit card statement because when checking the paypal payments on Paypal, it gives you no clue whatever to the item you have purchased.  That may be fine if you buy very little but I buy quite a few items every month and cannot always remember the cost.  Why can't email include details of the item purchased like the old Paypal?

I imagine that you are buying from Business Sellers who are on the new Managed Payments System.

As far as I know this does not affect your Purchases Page in your Ebay account, so payments should match up with the details there and I would imagine will be in date order.

Private Sellers will have the delights of this new system next year so it is not going to  improve, just get worse.

When ebay make these changes they give no thought to the practical side of the transactions, so long as they make more money, whether the change is an improvement or not for Buyers and Sellers.

Well, I think changes SHOULD improve a system NOT make it worse! I buy quite a few items and it is impossible to check what payments are for on my statement and logging into Paypal is no help as all it states is EBAYUK - no help at all if you don't know what the payment is for - WHY WHY WHY can't EBAY state what the payment is for? I now have to write down every purchase I make, which is a pain - the old system was much much better.
