I don’t see that being a much of an issue I’ve mismatched names on direct debits in the past and had no issues the bank account was debited without any concerns.

I submitted ID on one of my MP accounts on the 15th, but have had no response as yet. Has anyone else experienced a similar delay?

My previous account got the ID approved in 2 days but I am putting the delay here Down to a backlog / rush of people submitting ID on the 15th.

wouldnt worry about it, both mine are the same but it says you will be told about commencing mp by end of july

You lot are brave for even going ahead with it

I’ve got a personal eBay account £17k / month limit gonna hook it up to the (MP hit ebays) PayPal (docs passed) and rock and roll this year hopefully

Hopefully sh*t doesn’t hit the fan with MP, best of luck to everyone

Do you still get a red message in the ‘Payments’ tab asking you to upload documents?

No I don't - Says "you recently updated your ID, we will notify you by email" (Not exact wording......)

I still havn't heard anything, but I have noticed Ebay had set a direct debit up on my bank account and instead of saying the switch will be late July its now saying "We will notify you 2 weeks and 2 business days before you are switched over to managed payments"

[frustr8ed]

I’m seeing the same now. Looks like it’ll be at least mid August before people are actually switched over.

Did this roll go ahead on how many got to sign up

hi all,
so i have now got been restricted listing new items and amending current listings until i sign up to MP.
my acc is registered at a business address which is legit, but when signing up for this acc i used stealth details as it started as a personal acc.
i have read many threads and have seen members saying they switched details to there own but have not really posted how it turned out for them.
if i change details to my own it would be linked to a banned acc.
not sure what i can do going forward
any help is appreciated

I haven't signed up to MP and am still able to create and amend listings. I'd have thought that any restrictions would be applied across the board rather than to some and not others.

Nobody knows. It's still early days.

I was one of the people that did that and my account is still active. Still waiting for MP to become enabled and haven't been given an exact date, just "end of july" like everyone else in the Uk.

I switched my account to my previously banned real details and MP went live on my account on 27th July with no issue.

Thanks for letting us know. What's it like ? can I have a screenshot of the payments tab ? just mask out any sensitive info.

Hi All,

Another consideration (amongst many others) for me is how you will be able to report on Managed Payments.

I currently have 4 Stealth Ebay accounts (although you can have up to 8) going to my 1 Business Paypal account (with all my own details on Paypal). Money is then withdrawn to my Barclays Business Account.

Despite me having 4 separate eBay Stealth accounts, I only need to prepare 1 monthly Paypal report to capture all monthly activity for my records and for annual tax return.

If Paypal is removed from the equation, I would need to prepare 4 separate reports (1 from each Ebay account) for my records.

I just wonder how user-friendly and efficient the reporting aspect of Managed Payments will be (for those that pay taxes lol).

As I said, just one of many considerations and food for thought.

Best wishes,
Tuffguy

Ask your accountant if you can transfer from 4 different bank accounts to your business account. They will probably charge a little bit more for this but it will be possible as long as those other 4 accounts are clean from any other transactions so it makes their life easier.

[tuffguy]

Thanks for your suggestion, james_112233

If I had 4 separate Stealth Ebay accounts going to 4 different bank accounts, I guess that would cause a headache applying for Managed Payments, in that the 4 Stealth Ebay accounts would carry completely different name and address details to my 4 personal bank accounts, so surely would not be successfully verified for MP?

Would you suggest changing the names and addresses on the 4 Ebay accounts to my own, so they match my bank accounts?
The only concern there is that revealing my real name and address on the 4 Ebay accounts may link them to an Ebay account that was banned a few years ago, hence the original foray into Stealth accounts!

Just want to give a big thumbs up for Ebayorbust. I have read all the threads on managed payments with trepidation to be honest and there have been some who have talked the talk...but talked ****e.
There have been some who thought knew it all and knew f...nothing.
Then you have the likes of Ebayorbust who have been on here for years and do not say a lot because there is always some big shot wants to shoot them down. As usual those that say the least know the most.
All sorted without even one tiny hitch. Cheers Ebayorbust top marks for you mate I know where to come in future for help and advice.

He's not gonna shag you mate.
















Sorry about that, it just tickles me every time I see this written somewhere so I couldn't help myself.

Im glad you are all sorted and I wish you all the best with your business.
