No mp for certain categories

Ebay.slayer · #1 03-04-2021

I hear managed payments will not be offered to those selling in certain categories?? and that they can continue using PP, if this is true, do people know which categories are will not be enrolled in MP???

Thanks all

My understanding was, given that paypal will eventually be removed altogether, that some categories/items would be removed. TBH it will be no loss to ebay and it's categories which are more problematic than most.

I'm sure in time they will consider re-instating some of them. Personally I hope they don't rush it and think about it.

It's true to say that those sellers who are now on MP cannot list in some categories, the rest of sellers will follow.

What is for sure is that just because you currently list in a restricted category does not mean you will be MP exempt, otherwise everyone would be listing one article in each and this workaround would be well publicised - which it isn't.

The list of prohibited items is easily found on ebay.

EDIT:

Here's the UK list, the .com one is pretty much the same:

Items containing nudity
Alcohol, beer, spirits, and wine
Bullion (Business sellers may list beginning 23 February 2021)
Coins, paper money (Business sellers may list beginning 23 February 2021)
Downloadable products and virtual items
E-cigarettes and vaporizers
Gift cards, coupons, and vouchers
Lodging, timeshares, vacation packages, and car rentals
Real estate
Services
Tickets for travel, events or experiences
Virtual currency
