Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I’ve just purchased accounts

They had addresses already on there

Always worked without a hicup

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I dont think having a dedicated address for a stealth account is worth it, unless you're taking in loads of returns

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

How did it go with the stealth accounts you purchased last year?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

How did what go?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

who do Amazon use to process their payments? like Adyen for ebay, who for Amazon?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

The accounts you purchased last year. Your opening introduction here stated you was here to buy accounts.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I don’t know why you do it mate - if I get a return I just let them keep it and refund them but ofc not everyone can do that

Your next best option imo is paying a corner shop or Hermes shop £20 / month to let them use returns - depends who they are be friendly be nice make them the proposition they won’t say no

A few people here do this without any issues

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Got bigger things to worry about they a return address at the moment,

Highly considering ditching eBay full stop and invest into something else, far to much headache.

its always been a big headache but this is like the final straw i think,

This new MP system sounds like a HUGE ball ache.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Indeed, so while you can ask sensitive information, that pretty much no one will ever answer, you just end up looking like a bit of tool in doing so. You have to be far more intelligent than that to try and troll someone.

But great contribution to all the MP threads! Your recent posting history must be classed as invaluable to the cause.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

What sensitive information have I asked? You came here to buy accounts.
They would of had stealth information. I'm asking how you've got on with Managed Payments with them. I've already got Stealth accounts confirmed with MP, so not doing to bad for a tool.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Mate the guys just got a attitude that is all it is, think he needs a break from the forum

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

We cant talk about Fight Club.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Thats nice after the 12 PMs you send me asking for advice, 11 of which you got nice replies with advice which has progressed your knowledge, but the hand holding was getting to be a bit much...Shall I screengrab the PM's?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Does Aspkin USA get this much drama?

I’ve never checked or are all the plonkers on this side

I’m considering getting a draft :D

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I just applied for managed payments. I have a sealth account but used my information. I changed my birth date and used my first initial of my name. I have never given E bay my SS# so they cannot trace me with that number. Problem is the account owner does not have the same name as me. We will see.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Update : Have to used your correct birthdate

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Wow, how much were you spending on renting properties for your stealth accounts ?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

That is the thing i wasn't running stealth accounts it was legit accounts so my company was registered on this address bank the lot, basically i was operating from this address.

Virtual address that take in parcels etc dont cost too much, i think it was around 40-60 pounds a month.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

i personally think its worth it takes out all the headache you have with unknown addresses on your accounts, headache of returns etc.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

received a new email from ebay today about managed payments... apparently they moved the restriction deadline from 15 July to 27 July! What is your take on it?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

It’s the same bullsh*t they’ve sent to everyone

Has no meaning

The eBay / PayPal system was so good together

It’s a real shame this happening, I’ve checked eBay community forums & everyone is losing there sh*t there too

I’m just going to boycott it, worst case scenario just earn income elsewhere

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

paypal was only good for stealth and micropayments (thats my opinion) under MP ligit businesses with around 100k monthly turnover will be saving £2000 in paypal fee. Plus they will not have to compete with below sellers!!!

People who are complaining about this new system are:
1 who sell lookie-like items
2 who sell digital downloads
3 who burn 1-2 stealth account every month to make quick cash
4 who do not pay taxes
5 who are not registered for VAT
6 who do not want to reveal their id and still sell and earn money... woww
7. people who do not want money to come into their bank account! WHY? rest you know better ;)

Like it or not this is a good step by ebay. If someone is even banned by ebay in past then they can get back on platform with 1 stealth account (by putting their real details on account). A ligit business is not banned in 99% of cases. A ligit business do not need more than 1 and maximum 2 accounts to trade............ Like it or not stealthers need more accounts to f*** the ebay and customers :D

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Ebay has raised category fee but not as much i think. I am not sure about this but i think only half a percent. But paypal commission is around 2.5%. So thats still a saving of 1-2% at least.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I've read they are offering cash incentives $50 - $300 to sellers across the pond to sign up to MP.

Reeks of desperation.

Also read that those enrolled in to MP will lose out in sales from non-mp ebay sites. I sell a lot to Japan, S.Korea, Thailand & Singapore. So I will lose out big time.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

I've done the numbers in my own situation and I will be marginally better off

IMO this is more about Ebay finally seperating from Paypal (will take years yet I think) and taking control of the site

I realise fully the angst some are feeling but no one, given the nature of the beast that is Ebay, can be in the least surprised that they would take steps to stop the people mentioned in the comment above

For sure some people will disappear but truly, is that a great loss to Ebay and Ebay buyers?

I think not

:ranger:

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Yeah ... so pretty much the same thing. They are offering people incentives to sign up. Ebays getting desperate or why would they.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

What is the ID process on MP? Is it just sending in an id scan or is it more intrusive? real time video holding ID etc? Most of my accounts are personals but a hand full of business but as of yet no forcing of MP on any - just went through all the emails. All i can find is the beta invites from jan/feb nothing since

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Scan of your passport or driving license - no real time video

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

would a photo do ok of it do you think?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

As long as it is a clear picture then I don't see why not.

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Received this email today, the restriction threat date has been moved to 10 Aug. I hope this will be moved further down the line..

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Did this pose any problems changing your DOB

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Its written in the email ( If you miss the registration deadline, starting from 10/08/2020, we will start to restrict your ability to create new listings)

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

When you sign up to ebay you don't give them DOB? Only paypal asks it?

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

27 July has come today but ebay has not put any restriction on putting up new listings... good signs for the time being :)

Re: Managing Payments Requesting ID
 

Yes, nothing has changed so far.

The question is: is this eBay just trying to maximise profits by taking a huge chunk of PayPal's business or is it about making sellers more accountable?

I've been selling on eBay for over 20 years. Everything they have ever done was entirely about making money. They've only bothered with accountability when legally obliged (ie people selling items that are copyright infringes).

Much remains to be seen, but I do suspect that eBay have been trying scare people into signing up to MP. I might be wrong, but I can't see a profit-mad company like eBay restricting selling.
