eBay seller fee automation

[taerese]

Just like amazon takes their commission before disbursing money to you. Is there a way to automate ebay to deduce their commission before payment is sent to you so as to avoid the monthly invoice?

You can make one off payments at the end of each day if you wish.

Manual or automatic payments can be done. Up to you. They will take them automatically at the end of the month / 15th month from the debit card OR PayPal balance, however the account is setup

@Callidus, I was referrring to instant deduction prior to earnings been sent to me.

Its easy at Amazon because they deal with finances and seller central. eBay use Paypal, so their fees cannot be automatically deducted.

So, I guess they have 100% trust in PayPal because its their company, but dont you think this might change when PayPal is divorced off eBay and with alibaba a potential suitor. Things might get a little bit dirtier they'll wanna take their commission before any fee is disbursed to you.

No, paypal is just a Merchant account like any other, it's up to the seller to be responsible and pay there fees.

Even now people get suspended all the time for not paying fees to eBay

Also you do not need to,use paypal to pay fees that is completely up to,the seller.

Also I'm sure eBay is insured against any losses that occur from people not paying fees

So even though they are the same company they operate separately in terms of functionality , so the seller has the option to be responsible or not

But you need PayPal exclusive to get verified in eBay and able to raise limit or is there an option like using my bank account/credit card to get verified and raising limit without any connection to PayPal?

[Dmshark25]

I recommend you have a paypal account to,accept payments, but you do not need your paypal account to pay your eBay fees if you do not want to.

If it's stealth you can't use a real credit card, but say you have $400 in fees due, your able to get a vanilla Visa Gift card , load $400 and log into eBay and pay your fees directly using that gift card, if u wanted
