I have a love-hate relationship with eBay. This is one thing I secretly hope will go horribly wrong, and the powers that be see concerning numbers in revenues and attribute it to the intermediated payments changeover.
The solution is simple. Allow the buyer to choose how they want to pay. They can either choose the Managed solution OR PayPal (along with others - even cryptos. My argument is make as many options available. This benefits buyers, sellers, and of course eBay.
The primary goal should be: Get the sale done.
It doesn't matter HOW, so long as money changes hands in the most hassle free way possible.
In the real world, though, my reasoning is flawed. It's really NOT that simple, is it? The real reason is because ebay wants a bigger piece of the payments pie, and is trying to make up for the loss in revenues since splitting from PayPal.
