200/20K.

Just like PayPal.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but when is the exact date that this implementation will begin? E.g. when will the first Ayden payment be accepted

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

Theyre talking about starting to roll this out later this year but full integration and implementation could take as long as 2023.

Invitation only. I wish we had the options on new account creation but not yet anyways.

paypal is such a pain in the ass and ive heard multiple items when calling paypal that they dont like ebay....who knows this could be a blessing in disguise im not going to speculate and think the worst is coming....no one knows

Should be interesting to see when this is fully implemented but I think overall it will be a positive change

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

There's still option to use PayPal correct?

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

Yes. There will be until at least 2023.

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

I'm hoping they'll use paypal even beyond 2023

It's true dude. I can handle the 200/20k requests from paypal. Ebay though, not so sure.

EBay makes more money this way, they have more control of the backend, less overhead. THis is a no brainer. I'm surprised it has taken them this long to implement. I can see eBay turning this into something like Amazon where you have your card on file.. making it easier to purchase. Maybe than eBay will stop losing marketshare.

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

I doubt it. This is too little, too late. eBay will be a non-point by the time they get this fully implemented, judging by the pace of Amazon's growth.

They owned PP for the longest time so they had full control over payments. Then they realized buyers would rather complete the transaction all on one site like they do on Amazon. So they're trying to slowly transition into that kind of system, but I think it's going to end up hurting them. There are too many eBay sellers relying on Paypal's leniency at this point.

Re: After 15 years, eBay plans to cut off PayPal as its main payments processor
 

I hope so. With PayPal, the system is still integrated so they don't even need to have a PayPal account to make the purchase. PayPal is smart too, not make consumers jump through hoops just to pay, which includes 2.9% fee + .30 on paypals part, why makebcusktmers go through 20 pages of clicking for that?

PP will be there for sellers at least. An EB acct is only good for buying on EB. EB doesn't want the money that sellers collect to go to the bank just yet. They will be buying with their PP accts somehow all over the net. EB still owns and collects PP profits. I believe you will be able to sent money to a PP acct for what ever reason you want. PP won't be collecting it the old way from sales on EB..

I wish they'd do it by a deadline like Etsy did.

BAM, you're either in or out lol!

Hope this will revive the accounts that are limited on PayPal but in good standing with ebay
