New Managed Payment Email

[arshavin]

I'm sure most of you guys will have just received this moments ago, i'll paste it below incase some people didn't.

Does this mean we now have no choice than to do this by that date or is this still an option we can put off for now?

It looks like we have no choice to me but i hope i am wrong.

Starting late next month, eBay will begin managing your payments. Now’s the time to join thousands of sellers by registering for the simpler way to do business on eBay.

1. Verify your information
2. Provide a bank account
3. Keep selling as normal

Register now →
Please make sure you register by July 15. Your account will be enabled starting from late July.

Once you register, nothing will change until eBay activates your account starting late next month. We will notify you of your activation date well in advance, and will be sharing more information about the change, and how to take full advantage of our new, simpler approach to payments.
Running your business is simpler when eBay manages your payments, and buyers have more ways to pay:
•
Simpler to sell - Checkout is more flexible, with an easier experience for buyers

•
Simpler to get paid - Payouts are automatic, sent directly to your bank account

•
Simpler to manage - Operations run smoother, with simplified fees, integrated reporting, and streamlined support

For those who currently use PayPal Working Capital, please read our FAQs on the eBay Seller Center for your available options. If you have more questions on working capital loans, please provide us with some information here & we’ll be in touch to discuss your options.

I don't believe its forcing you. It's just saying your account will be enabled by July to opt in. But in a few months I reckon they will start forcing sellers.

I just got this too.

Is this ebay's way of cutting paypal out of the scheme? My accounts are all in perfect working order. I ONLY accept paypal and require immediate payment. No checks, credit cards...only PP.

It sounds like ebay is wanting to have the money go directly in and out of my checking account.

Ebay CS have told me 4 times we HAVE to be signed up by 15th otherwise we will no longer be able to accept payments, but also 6 times that it wont be mandatory (yet).

Clear as mud. So we wont know until the date I guess.

Holy ****!

I've no idea what I'm going to do losing these accounts. I am totally fu$%^#d

Nowhere on that email does it say the word 'MUST'.
It is NOT compulsory at this point from everything Im reading - at least for UK accounts.
And from everything Im reading this is only impacting heavier sellers - NOT everybody.

I really hope you are right but my feeling is this is it. We must sign up by that date.

This is the UK Managed Payment forum.

We do not have 'you are REQUIRED' in our emails, hence why we seek clarification and discussion, we have known what US based sellers emails have said for a long time, and its expected, but not confirmed, that US sellers will no longer be able to take payments after 15th July.

Yeah, as your American colleague posted, UK emails dont yet have the 'you are required' to before the July 15th date.

However, I am still not convinced that this won't be the case, but live in hope till then!
