Payment methods on eBay?

[wildur_56]

Why is eBay Stating Sellers can choose what payment method they accept from buyers,like Cheques, Postal Orders payment on collection,then State to the Seller:They MUST Use PayPal a compnany owned by eBay as their Only payment method? is this Fraudulent Misrepresentation by eBay? If I lived in Germany or America  I could use eBay S.a.r.l as my Payment method,Why not in the UK? Discrimination by eBay? I need some answers from eBay,but they REfuse to answer my concerns?

then State to the Seller:They MUST Use PayPal a compnany owned by eBay as their Only payment method?

EBay has never said that sellers must use PayPal as their only payment method. What it says is that sellers must accept PP, if that's how the buyer wishes to pay. They can also accept other methods of payment, but must not express a preference for them, and must not refuse to accept PP. (PP is the only method of payment which made the transaction eligible for eBay's money back guarantee.) The theory is that eBay can't offer this guarantee unless it can monitor the payment history, as it can with PP.

All this is changing with the phased introduction of managed payments. This will qualify purchases for eBay's money back guarantee if paid through eBay's checkout, using PayPal or PayPal Credit, a credit card, debit card, Google Pay or Apple Pay.

How this is going to work is beyond me. I can't imagine that debit and credit card issuers are going to make customers' payment history accessible to eBay, so how will payment or non-payment be verified? In any case, it would seem to remove any justification for continuing to insist that sellers must accept PP.

Paypal is rightly viewed by sellers as dangerous for collection.  Cash is so delightful in that the seller does not ahve to pay PPs 3%.  The problem is that a buyer collecting something can simply deny that it was him but as the seller cannot prove delivery [by tracking] PP would refund.

EBay has brought in a partial solution in that the buyer gives the seller a code to enter

I reply to the latest message about PayPal. If I asked the buyer to pay
Cash on Collection, like I do when I go I to a Store, that Buyer will only
get the item they have paid for. So if the Original buyer failed to Pay for
the item, then they wont get the item. regards Who they are,and How they
got my Address for the Pick Up? Who gave them MY Details? So I ask YOU,
have buyers ALWAYS got what they paid for? I am waiting for a item I paid
for over 2 weeks ago? What happens if that item Fails to Arrive? I have ben
dealing with eBay and PayPal for YEARS. eBay was a Joy to deal with BEFORE
PayPal came along. I have ALWAYS had a 100% Feedback. My latest Purchase,
the Seller had Over 180 NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS, yet eBay as long as they and
PayPal get their FEES, the Buyer can go and get STUFFED.

[pixiesen2012]

you can accept any payment methods but at the moment you must also offer paypal, you cannot say no paypal

all UK sellers are being moved over to managed payments, once this happens you won't have to offer paypal

[wildur_56]

If I lived in Germany? eBay s.a,r.l .would be my payment option for sellers
And Buyers. I was Told by eBay: eBay s.ar.l was comeing to the UK some six
months time? June, July 2021. So if I wanted to sell a Large item on eBay,
I would offer the buyer the chance to pay for the item, Payment on
Collection, which is a Payment Option listed as a payment method on eBay.
The following payment methods which are offered at eBay checkout, are
allowed. I would NEVER Knowingly use PayPal as my payment method, eBay has
LOST hundreds of sellers, buyers on their web site, WHY? I have used eBay
for over 20 Years, it used to be a happy experience until PayPal arrived,
Not anymore

[arkwebus]

Paypal is not now owned by eBay [it used to be].  There are changes afoot but previously to be covered by eBay's money back guarantee buyers had to pay by Paypal which could only happen if the seller offered PP

@wildur_56 

[wildur_56]

So What happens if I State: Payment on Collection as the item is to Big to send through the Post or Carrier?

[pixiesen2012]

you can ask for payment in cash on collection, but you can't refuse a paypal payment if the buyer chooses to pay that way

[wildur_56]

Yes I can REFUSE to Accept PayPal, the item is owned by myself, until the
buyer pays for the Item, as a Seller, How do I know if the buyer has a
PayPal Account on arriving at my Address?

[papso22]

You might own the item but you listed it on eBay's site and need to abide by their rules, as set out in the user agreement.

[pixiesen2012]

buyers can pay with paypal as soon as they win the item, they don't tend to wait until they get to the sellers door!

if someone pays with paypal you could refund them and ask for cash on collection, but you will still be charged paypals fee for processing the payment

[wildur_56]

I suggest YOU read the eBay Payment Options: PayPal, Credit cards, Cheques,
Postal Orders, Apple Pay, Google Pay. I suggest YOU get in touch with
PayPal and Inform them that they MUST Comply with the UK Regulations, I
refer to Equality Act, Section 29. PayPal like eBay turn a Blind eye to the
EU Regulations over Competition Laws. I suggest you READ those LAWS Before
you Spout of YOUR Mouth. I will Never sell on eBay while eBay Refuses me
the RIGHT to Choose who I wish to Process buyers payments. Why are
Thousands of sellers And buyers, Closing their Accounts? My PayPal Account
has been FROZEN since May 2015,WHY? PayPal Refuse to say? Because they know
eBay the Parent Company will support their Illegal Actions. PayPal had a
Class action taken against them selves for EXACTLY the Same problem I am
having. PayPal Lost their case and agreed to pay Millions of Dollars in
Damages. PayPal made their Fortune on the back of eBay, Millions of
dollars, Pounds have been made by eBay and PayPal over Millions of
FAKE,STOLEN goods sold on eBay every day. PRINT THIS ON YOUR COLUMN.

[papso22]

Ah, now it becomes clearer. If you want to sell on eBay you need to wait until you are invited to enrol on managed payments. As PayPal has banned you you are stuck until then.

I have no idea what the rest of your post is about.

[pixiesen2012]

it's amazing how people find it impossible to tell the truth

I wonder what they did to get banned by paypal?

[wildur_56]

KUDOS.it would appear YOU work for eBay, I DONT wish to be Invited on eBay.
I recently bought a item on eBay on the 11 Dec. item has NOT Arrived.
Seller has 190 Negative Feedbacks, was He INVITED by eBay? WHAT is eBay,s
Address in the UK?

[wildur_56]

HI KUDOS, are you Suggesting I am a LIAR? give me your name and Address, we
can solve WHO is a Lair in Court?

[papso22]

Ebay's uk address is in the user agreement. Managed payments is Ebay's new payment processing system, private sellers are invited to use it, until such time as it becomes mandatory.
None of us work for ebay, we volunteer to help members with problem but we get annoyed when we are drip fed vital information. I am not sure whether it will work but have you tried opening a case for item not received in the resolution centre for the missing item?

[pixiesen2012]

go to the Resolution Centre and open a not received case

[wildur_56]

Hi Kudos, Thank you for your comments, Yes I have tried to open a claim
against the Seller. Told by eBay I must wait until 30 December Before I get
a Refund. The seller has over 190 Negative Feedback's. I am Not the only
one who has Not received this ink cartridge. Why would Anybody wait 3 weeks
for a Delivery of an Important Delivery? Thank your hjelp. Regards William.

[papso22]

You always have to wait until the day after expected delivery before you can open a case for item not received, and now you have to wait 3 business days before you can ask eBay to step in. The rules are very strict, even for an obvious scamming seller.

[wildur_56]

Hi The Delivery Date was 11 December 2020,so Why do I have to wait until 31
December 2020? I am getting very annoyed with this Seller, I keep getting
messages: It will arrive on another Date, it Never arrives, so How long
should I wait? I needed an Ink Cartridge Before Christmas, so I could send
messages to my Family. I had to buy from another Supplier. I told the
seller, I wished to Cancel my Order, he just keeps sending me messages. I
have Stated: I will not respond to any more messages from this Seller. I
have just received a message from EBID. I used to use them some time ago,
very Good Company. I might go back to them after all this Hassle with eBay.
I will NOT use PayPal. I have suffered YEARS of Allegations by this
company, NONE TRUE. It was Claimed by eBay. Buyers do NOT need a PayPal
Account to buy items on eBay. PayPal has Refused to Process payments for
many items I bought on eBay, even when I didn't have a PayPal Account and
when I did have a PayPal account. As I have said, I am taking PayPal to
Court. Hopefully it will be settled in 2021.I will NEVER Knowingly use
PayPal again. I keep getting messages from PayPal Users, telling me about
the way PayPal have Treated them. Regards William. Happy New Year.

No one here works for eBay.  We are members like you and try - successfully in most cases - to give advice as to how to solve problems within eBay's system. 

"Kudos" is from the Greek and are usually offered in response to an exceptional achievement by other members.  It is not a member's name or ID

@wildur_56 

[arkwebus]

Paypal has been linked to eBay as far back as I remember!  It is perfectly acceptable to sell a collection item for cash as the buyer [to whom you give the address to collect] and the buyer [hopefully] looks carefully at the item to make sure there are no problems for thereafter he has no come back. 

Sellers do however - under eBay rules - need to "offer" Paypal for collection.  It is a bad idea in that the buyer can lie and say [to PP] that he did not receive it. As the seller cannot prove by tracking that the item was delivered the seller would have to refund [or Paypal would].  EBay has tried to address this in some measure by giving the buyer [in some cases] a PIN code which the seller puts into the selling page.  After that there is no hope of a refund for non-delivery.  There should be no hope of a not as described case/refund.  In normal cases where the seller sends the item there is no protection for either buyer or seller if Paypal is not used.  This may change with direct payments.

I find this Comment a Laugh, How many Buyers have LOST money on eBay using
PayPal? go onto the PayPal Suks web site. How many Fake items have been
sold on eBay? did the Buyers get a Refund for those Fake Goods? Why is
PayPal NOT on the German eBay web site? In Germany the Seller can Choose
eBay S.a.r.l as their Payment processor, NOT in the UK, WHY? Also NOT in
America is PayPal Mandatory payment processor or in New Zealand, Australia,
WHY? They don't ALLOW eBay to Dictate to them. I will NOT sell on eBay,
while its Mandatory to use PayPal. The WORST company I have dealt with over
the Years.SCUM

[papso22]

You can't sell on Ebay while it is mandatory for sellers to have a PayPal account, because you have been banned by PayPal. I think that probably explains your attitude to
them, but please stay polite to us.

We have no idea why there are different payment rules on different countries sites, and it seems ebay won't tell you either.
