SELLERS DELAY POSTING DUE TO NEW EBAY PAYMENT SYSTEM

[nicklancaster1959]

I see sellers are delaying their postings due to Ebay's new payment system, contrast to when Paypal dealt with the payments.  Seems quite reasonable that ebay sellers should take this action.  SO THE QUALITY OF SERVICE FALLS.

Likewise it is unreasonable to give ebay access to personal banking, when Paypal can still provide an excellent service, and IMPORTANTLY has the track record of doing so.  Indeed the reality is that a new stand alone bank account ought to be set up by a seller to ring fence its ebay activities. SO THE QUALITY OF SERVICE FALLS.

So  consequently I feel that it is time to look at alternatives routes to marketing unwanted items, perhaps where a more targetted approach direct to enthusiasts will  achieve higher cash realisations.

Obviously commercial operators will not be fussed, but I have made up my mind.

Sorry but a rather foolish approach to something very simple. 

Once payment is made the money is in the system and ebay says PAID and DISPATCH. No different to paypal the money is in the system and can be seen, but it can also be seen on Managed Payments, isn't that good enough, or do sellers have to have cash in their hands first.

I opted for weekly payments, turns up on Tuesday each week including money receive up to Sunday. I can at any time see exactly what is in Managed Payments and how much will be sent on Tuesday (it arrives within about 2 hours). Those sellers who will not post obviously have never looked in PAYMENTS and are risking their accounts by having late deliveries.

Unfortunately I prefer the seamless approach of the previous system with the money in my account and the contract is then formed. Never mind switched my high value sales elsewhere and discovering new and more interesting opportunities
