eBay Managed Payments Setup Experience

Lbilbies on 19/04/2021 - 12:57

Hi there, just wanted to hear some feedback and your experience with eBay Managed Payments registration. I’m getting bombarded by eBay emails and calls to register and if you don’t , eBay blocks ability to post new listings and modify existing. My concerns, they’re asking to sign direct debit and provide copy of Drivers License: they can deduct money by mistake and then chase them for refund and then there is the privacy concerns that they hold your bank account details with your Drivers License.
Please share your experience.

    they can deduct money by mistake

    Its no different to paypal, they could take money out of the paypal account by 'mistake' without asking you.

    But I agree, I don't like the 'new' arrangement or the increase in seller fees they slipped in as part of this.

    Once my current listings sell out on the platform, then I think I'm done.

    The entire block your account until they get your way doesn't work for me. I'll just sell elsewhere, ebay has been so so for a long time.

    There's no way I'm going to provide eBay with the freedom to debit my account when they feel like it or take out how much they decide they deserve to take.

    As for my driver's licence details… Tell 'em they're dreamin'.

    The moment they block my account for any reason I'm out of there forever.

    This is probably what eBay want, get rid of the small sellers and favour their large Chinese sellers.

    Agreed.
    They increase their fees while they reduce their services, and add my time and cost to enabling biased searches.
    If they want to be amazon, good luck to them, but I'm not lifting a finger to improve my performance on Ebay, while they are scuttling it at the same time

    needed to verify a bunch of documents. As my business was trading under a family trust, also wanted me to provide all my family members' details. Kicked up a fuss, now they said I don't need to enrol until they further details.

    Merged from Ebay Managed Payment for Seller - June Deadline

    Just a heads up that eBay is forcing every seller to sign up for their managed payment otherwise they can't sell after mid June.

    As part of sign up process, they seek your ID to verify details and any failure will mean you are required to upload a copy to your ID which is a privacy risk.

    They are not registered with AFCA unlike PayPal so good luck getting your payment if they decide to hold it for any reason.
