What a bunch of bull crap. I will never use managed payments since ALL of my buyers use PayPal. We are migrating to different venues since it looks like eBay is on the destructive path to ruins. After 19 years it is going to be a sad goodby but like Skip Mcgrath and others have said they are giving up on eBay because it is in a state of chaos.
As I originally said before and I will keep on saying it:
eBay = Dead Man Walking
“[T]he process to revert accounts to their prior payment settings can be complex….”
Huh? eBay flipped a switch and sellers were in Managed Payments. Why can’t they just flip the switch back to the “off” position and get the sellers out?
“That said, the process to revert accounts to their prior payment settings can be complex as orders and listings can be in different states, and this process needs to be managed individually with each seller.”
Anybody care to translate this to English? My first thought was to the opinion piece here recently about Cassini rotating the viewing of listings according to time zones and how much you have sold recently.
Fools! Why not “roll out” this new program WITH Paypal included? If not, we miss sales…they miss commissions on our sales…end result: a GD stupid way to try to do business! What is wrong with the
so-called management at eBay? Sounds like they aren’t even capable of tying their own shoes…let alone rolling out a program like this one! Why do they keep messing with the site? Every time they do we lose business and they lose sales and STILL they stagger on with even more schemes to grab money…schemes that are not well thought out and definitely NOT instituted flawlessly! Never ever thought I’d miss Meg Whitman!
Yes, Meg did a good job considering all of the crap that we have to put up with the 2 fools that followed her. It is totally unbelievable what eBay has become.
eBay = Dead Man Walking
