Why the Secrecy about eBay Managed Payment Fees?

by: thriftyattireandstuff

What's iritating is that in the middle of people's financial struggles in the pandemic, one, your forced to make a major change in your financial situation, and two, you get no solid info. The Paypal contract is not yet over, so why shove this down struggling folks throats. Did I waste my time moving money all over the place and it won't REALLY happen in July?  The one thing that will irritate the piss out of me, yes I said that is that I know that when a buyer opens a return, and never ships the item back, after communication, there will be a hold. I don't get that anymore on PayPal with Money Now  With extended return windows and all that, money could be tied up forever over a misunderstood return.. and I have a lot of those. I'd say 40% of my returns never end up coming back after I've communicated with a buyer.. However, eBay won't close those out until the ship back date.. Knock on wood, I'm not a high volume seller, but that just provides another dimension to all this.

I wondered when millions of sellers were walking away from e-bay. I have not been replacing e-bay inventory or listing new things waiting. I knew it had to be soon because there is a huge fake in crease in my sales. Thanks July 15th is my shut down date.

I am not going to join MP anytime soon so they will not let me list anymore items. It will hurt them more than me. I will have 3000 items still selling for quite awhile. If we all do not sign up it should send a message to those creeps. I think there is a lot of sellers out their like me. Lets do our own type of online protest to the greedy top 1%.

They may say "you won't be able to list" but do you really think they're not to going to either end those listings already up (that won't renew most likely anyway) or put any sales you do have into payout limbo?

@Opalie

The most likely is that you won't be able to list any new listings.  As your live listings come up for renewal they will end them instead.  So if you have been told you are going into MP later this month and you have decided it isn't for you.  List like crazy right now if you have stuff you want to try and move before they block your ability to list.

Gish, I'm pretty sure that IS what I already said.

Why do you have this irritating habit of "correcting" posters just to say the same damn thing?

Marie is a mother Hen

@Opalie

Except I didn't "correct" you, I merely expanded on it.  I didn't say there was anything wrong with your post, nor do I think there was.  Gish!

by: Opalie

Pretty childish to call out an obvious typo, but only what I'd expect from you at this point.

I don't think anyone needs their posts expanded on by someone else, frankly.

by: Marie

@Opalie

It appears to me that you are seeing what you want to see.  I did NOT call out any TYPO you may have made or anyone else.  So who is being "childish"??!

by: Opalie

Really Marie? wth is Gish in your vocabulary then? Because for me it was typo when I meant to type Gosh.

Stop being so disingenuous, it's really not fooling anyone.

by: Marie

Oh now that is funny!  I too made the typo and didn't even realize it.  I should have had more coffee this morning to be sure.  You read too much into a mistake made by both of us.
