Yes, my wifes got some friends who sell at work, so she is going to pick their brains about it, although I think they may only be low scale personal sellers, o may of not got the email.

Might be worth keeping eye on the eBay Community forums as well, although there does not seem to be a great response to it.

However don't Etsy use Ayden?

Yes and I actually prefer it to paypal.

You can just mindlessly sell and just worry about dispatching your items. The money automatically builds up and then automatically gets deposited to your bank. All in house, one customer services.

Squeaky bum time.

Have our USA friends not switched over yet? I thought they were the first to do so.

Its at times like these I sometimes think I wish i had gone down the career route.

not only that, but its times like this I wish I had my own selling platform. SEO can be expensive though along with other Marketing cost. eBay is easy, you just list, they have done all the Marketing for you. Its also times like this I wish there were another dozen selling platforms just as big as ebay

True, I dont care about MP in ebay. Its the whole linking to your real info that has me concerned. For other non stealth ebay sellers it seems they dont like it that their money will be tied up. For stealth sellers its all about not blowing their cover

That's right. MP is perfect for business sellers. Your average person selling rubbish that isn't a business seller will ufcourse whinge about MP and having their money tied up.

SEO is tough and very time-consuming.

It's like walking a minefield as search engine updates can kill your site at any second.

That's why ebay have "Good till cancelled" listings ...

Same ebay item no. Listing indefinitely remains open until it sells. Perfect for SEO and it saves eBay money in advertising fees.

What about the UK personal account?Only the business account received this notice.

Does this mean that UK personal accounts are not allowed to do business next year if not upgrade to business account?

Or it only affects the business account,the personal accounts can still use paypal?

Does it only affect the UK ebay accounts?If AU or CA ebay accounts doing business on the marketplace in the UK,will it be affected?

[Rusek]

I think personal accounts UK will beable to use PP longer than business for sure
However on personal you cannot sell too much.
In Poland ebay was not informed sellers about any changed with receiving payments

Does anyone know if you can just use Adyen to sell on Ebay but without a Paypal account?
If you're legit ,all good on Ebay however have lost the paypal account, will you still be able to sell on ebay without ****pal? by the way im glad ebay has gone this way, bloody paypal **** company law unto themselves!

OK there is a USA ebayer on here who was invited to trial the Ayden payment scheme last year by chance they had a stealth account, I asked them at the time was was required. I have copied the response below

They are a bank but they are acting as a credit card processor in this capacity. The only thing I had to send them was a copy of my bank statement which was a business account and under a business name anyway which was approved within 3 days

[Bradd]

All my accounts are basic accounts or a couple of current accounts will they do a credit check to open a business account

[Bradd]

Thats me fukked then

[ebabe]

Im just glad we sellers in the UK dont have to deal with submiting SS Numbers. They got it really hard in the U.S.

[css1]

On the bright side for us, eBay has investors to answer to and they only care about the money.

Fingers crossed it is actually this easy.

Saying that though all of my stealth accounts are using regular bank accounts, not business ones.

Exactly and they do a credit check to open a business account and my credit went toast when Ebay fuccked me up 3 years ago hence i had to go stealth

And how many business accounts can you get when you have multiple stealth acounts

You'll either need to buy a business with bank and all, or buy an account when people start selling the eBay accounts on MP. I don't see any other way for you if that's the case

[DezRfc1]

So what's the advice for UK stealth accounts? I have an Ebay business account at the moment, but my bank I withdraw to is just a standard account.
