What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

e.g. my account must enroll by December 31. If I do not enroll, what happens on January 1?

The email says I would no longer be able to
- make new listings
- revise existing listings

but if I don't do either, will buyers still be allowed to purchase items from my existing listings?

If yes, will they still pay with PayPal and the money ends up in my PayPal account?

Much thanks.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

They might still be able to buy from your existing listings - on a very temporary basis. Within weeks those listings will be taken down.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Thanks slokor. How do you know? Has someone subject to an earlier deadline tried not signing up?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

They do NOT take down listings. You simply can not make new listings or edit existing listings.

I have two accounts that have been this was since late July. I edited the inventory to several thousand before the 15th of July and still have a few listings up. As the other sold out, I transitioned them to other accounts already moved to MP.

Thanks yankee

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

This is true. you just can't revise them, but you can edit quantity still. I have a relative who has been doing this since July. They can change quantity, but not revise anything else


Did get my first managed payments invite today with a gift card listed. so i guess maybe that doesn't always work. or perhaps it was flagged before i listed the gift card.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

They will block the edit of inventory also.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Did you ever SELL a gift card on this account? That may make a difference, or not. There's a guy on the ebay payments forum that only sells coins and got invited and switched to MP and then all his listings went *poof*

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Ahh, i haven't had that yet. I'll wait till they block inventory before i convert over.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

But can you still accept payment via Paypal?
If they remove Paypal ,what good are listings if buyer cannot pay you?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I've been selling gift cards (not primarily, but have sold them before) and still got forced into MP

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I would like to know that as well.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Guess we'll find out as soon as tomorrow. I'm here trying furiously to list as much as possible before the deadline ... what a waste of a new year's holiday ...

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Paypal is not removed.... You simply can not make new listings or edit. Sales continue as usual.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I was able to continue listing & revising old listings through 5am eBay server time (PST).

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I was able to continue listing for a few weeks after the deadline on one of my accounts before I was cut off. Then my fixed price listings stopped being renewed and eventually was told I could not sell anymore until I provided info for MP.

The deadline is not a firm deadline. In my case at least, the account slowly lost its selling abilities.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Good till ended listings do not get relisted and remain up. But eventually you will run out of inventory. I have a listing with 4832 orders and soon will run out and then that item is gone until I upgrade to MP.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I do not sell a lot in comparison to others...maybe 50 items a year.?., however, I did relist everything that I had with a dramatic cut in asking price and added best offer just in case. I finished all of my listings and revision 15 seconds before midnight New Years Eve. I checked 10 minutes later and I could still revise and even today (Jan 2), I am listing and can revise.

This is only temporary because, whether we like it or not, or are ready or not, I would say that sometime in January, all listings will end unless you sign up MP. At least that is my good guess.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Oh...and so far paypal payments are not an issue.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

is this for Usa Ebay or works with uk ? Anyone with experience on this?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Wish I knew this earlier...I wouldn't have wrecked my New Year's holiday (or have been awake so late scrambling to list items) had I known this in advance.

But now my work is done, having listed some 80-90% of items in the house I want to sell ... so I'm glad that's over with.

Thanks.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Yes, I've continued receiving PayPal payments on new purchases from my existing listings over the past week.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I thought good til cancelled renewed every month? So would they not renew after the MP deadline?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

it says you will be unable to create new listings when I check so I am hoping it allows existing ones to continue. Usa threads mention it does for them but we soon find out for uk.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I am in the US and fixed price listings did NOT continue to relist. They relisted once or twice after the deadline then would not anymore.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Once or twice meaning 30 day or 60 day max?
What happens then do they suspend your account? One concern I have is I have sales history for years which is buyer confidence so that would go if they end the listings.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I've been using a stealth Ebay account for almost 7 years (since 2014). No real info attached.
My account was suspended under that stupid DSR rating thing. That account was a good standing one with 100% feedback for 11 years, until I had an injury that caused about 2 months of being "slower". I did my very best to communicate with all my buyers to no avail. Ebay just didn't care.
I only sell in my spare time, usually only have 100-115 listings at a time, just vintage collectibles that I get from estate sales.
I am TERRIFIED of how to switch to MP, so I've been reading a lot on here.
I was told the same, Dec 31 deadline. I'm still having current listings sell. They're all set as PayPal pymts.
I haven't tried to list anything since January 1st because I figured I wouldn't be able to until I get converted over to MP.
I just now tried to "revise" one of my listings and it DID let me do it.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Received my first MP missed deadline registration warning earlier this week.

It said my ability to create/edit listings "will be disabled" but did not specify a date.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Nothing happens.. if you run GTC.. just stay the course if you choose not to upgrade, just let your stock run out, or update your stock if you can, sometimes itallows it, sometimes it doesn't.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Well I am running GTC and the deadline was the 18th January. Everything is working as before.... for now anyway.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Yeah, my deadline is Jan 25th.
I'm putting ALL I can on.
I don't know where to go after this. Maybe Etsy?
Somewhere where I can use my real info.
It's sad really because I've done real well for the last 7 years.
I'm still the same person they decided wasn't good enough back then because of that stupid DSR crap.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I received one last notice from ebay about MP and that I need to sign up by 1/22/21, however, that was not the last day...they gave me until 1/26/21. When I got up that morning, I tried to revise, and I could not and had the RED Selling Suspension Warning. So from October, to now, ( 3 months) I was given notice before I could no longer list, revise or edit.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Any items that you may have up for bid will run their course until the time is up and that is it until you sign up for MP. Keep your prices low and offer Buy it Now low to move inventory if you need to. Offers will still be accepted.

Once your items run out of time...that is it.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Did anybody try to just schedule listings with future start dates?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Oh no that's not good :(. Did you get any notice at all saying they would suspend your account or did they only keep saying you wouldn't be able to make any new listings?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

They can't suspend your account, just your selling privileges until you activate managed payments. Then you can sell again. Am I wrong?

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

I just got emails on 2 on my accounts. after the initial emails warning me to sign up for MP, that i ignored. My listings stayed active but wasn't able to create or modify anymore. Good till cancelled kept getting renewed every month. These new emails say to sign up for MP or they'll remove my good till cancelled listings. I have a month. Kiss those 2 good-bye

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

My account got suspended (MC011), along with the removal of all of my listings, a few days before my MP deadline. I successfully appealed & got my account restored, but by then, my MP deadline had passed and I could not relist without signing up for MP (which I still haven't done.)

eBay using dirty tactics to force people onto MP.

Re: What happens after the MP registration deadline?
 

Anybody else happened the same?, they can't suspend your account for not getting into MP.
How did you get your account reinstated, by call?, what did they say?
