HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I literally just received this email.

“Managed payments supports an enhanced buying and selling experience on eBay, providing sellers one place to sell and get paid, and buyers more ways to pay. eBay will manage payments for most sellers in 2020, and your account, will be activated for managed payments starting late July. To ensure you are ready in advance of the change and that there are no interruptions to your business, you will need to register by July 15th, 2020.

Please click here to register for managed payments by July 15, 2020.

What does it mean to “register” my business?
Registration allows you to get your business ready early for managed payments. You can register in a few simple steps, including verifying your business information and providing a bank account. This information will allow us to send your payouts and comply with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and know-your-customer obligations, which helps keep eBay a trusted marketplace. You will be able to track your registration progress on the Payments tab in Seller Hub.

What happens after I register?
Nothing will change on your account or how you manage your business on eBay until your account is activated for managed payments starting late July 2020. We will ensure you have access to all the detailed information you may need to be prepared before activation and you will be notified of your activation date well in advance. In order to learn more and start registration, please click here.

What are the benefits of eBay managing payments?
• More ways for buyers to pay: Buyers can pay with credit, debit and gift cards, PayPal, PayPal Credit, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
• One place to sell and get paid: You can access everything you need to sell and get paid, all on eBay: a single source for fees, customized reports, refunds, simplified protections, tax documentation, and dedicated support. If you use third-party tools, there should be no change in how you use those tools on managed payments.
• Streamlined operations: Payouts are regularly deposited to your bank account weekly or as soon as funds are available, based on your preference. Regardless of how the buyer pays, payouts are consistently available within two business days of an order confirmation. Pending payouts can also be used to pay for shipping labels, in addition to using a PayPal account. You can easily ship to international buyers with our Global Shipping Program (GSP).
• Simplified fees: Once activated for managed payments starting late July, you will pay only one final value fee1, consisting of a category-based percentage of the total amount of the sale, plus a fixed fee per order, with no third-party payments processing fees. Your final value fees will be automatically deducted from your sales proceeds, and the rest paid out to your bank account. Most sellers can expect to see overall savings2. For full fee details, click here.

We are notifying you because the eBay features and tools you use currently are fully supported in the managed payments experience - the new way business is done on eBay. By registering now, you will ensure that your business does not experience any disruptions when we enable accounts for managed payments starting late July 2020.

So....what does this mean? This is a LONG term eBay account from 2011. What will happen on July 15th?? Is this account toast? It has full stealth everything and PayPal, has an emigrant direct bank account. What should I do?? Like will the account be toast on July 15th?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Just change your details to your real info and assign a new bank.

I have a feeling all will be OK. I mean it's toast either way isn't it with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ details ? Ebay take a lot more into account than suspended information especially if you have been making them a lot of money for the past decade and the account is in good standing.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

You are displaying your account name. Delete that in your opening post before anything else.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Very dangerous how youre showing your ebay seller name on here. Remove it ASAP.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I deleted it

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

The account is in good standing? What will happen to the account on the 15th???

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I guess a few of my questions are, first off this isn’t a business account? This is just a personal account? I’m moving so I probably sold off 50 items over the past month on eBay but I don’t use this for business purposes or anything like that?

My other question is the eBay account has stealth details? Is the account going to be toast in July? Should I just go through and sell off everything I can like crazy expecting the account to never be able to be used again in July? I’m bummed out, this is an extremely old account and honestly I probably only sell 120 items a year on it?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Yep, they sending this to all top rated plus sellers today. looks like they ramping this up hardcore. i shouldn't say all, it's older accounts + higher volumes.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

So what’s the plan?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I just received same email,just follow the instructions-verify your personal information,it asked if you are personal or business,SSN or ITIN and then link a bank.
It reminded you to enter accurate bank information.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

But my information is stealth...

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Ill wait till the end to do any they ask for. No reason burning a bank account in case eBay suspends in the next 2.5 months

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Can anyone verify we can enter real-name bank accounts for stealth addresses? Haven't seen any confirmations either wether EIN from LLC works fine instead of using SSN.

We need to get a plan of action together moving forward.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

On the uk they have released a pdf explaining exactly what they need for chosing the business method. Individual they haven’t said yet

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I'll say this. I have a stealth eBay that got the same email a few months back, I took a shot in the dark and put in all real info for the managed payments integration. Everything has been smooth so far, no suspension.

So yes, so far, you can sign up with real info if your account is stealth, (in my experience.)

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

So wait you’re entering in your own Social Security number and stuff? What do they ask for? My question is it’s a stealth with 100% bogus information don’t they ask for a Social Security number and bank account? Doesn’t that all have to match? Or are you putting in your real Social Security number and bank account even with the stealth details attached to it?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

The danger is them linking all your accounts ?? Am going to reg 2 business accounts using the business method and 2 accounts using the individual method to try to minimise the links

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Can you link me to this .pdf ?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

It’s all in the MP section on your seller hub at the bottom

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Enough with all this British stuff. What’s going on with the United States stealth users?

I’m guessing I’m not the only one that got this email today? What is the plan in the United States to deal with this?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

There are loads of threads regarding MP in the US. You were the first to get it. Search the forums for more info.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Ad love to know what they require for the individual method no info on that. Business they want all kinds

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

In some of managed payments threads I explained what I had done prior to invite and accepting invite and after invite.

All real info but had a seller account banned few years ago.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Im going to send you a message

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I don’t really understand what this “managed payments” is. Why aren’t there dozens and dozens of people posting about this right now? Again I’m not a huge seller, it isn’t a business for me. I literally sell less than 200 items a year probably since 2011 or so. I don’t understand why I was selected for this and what happens if I don’t do it?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Should I just sell as much as humanly possible and then ditch the account and create a new one? Is this managed payments thing something EVERYONE is going to have to sign up for eventually?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

There will be NO other option eventually. Enjoy it while it lasts. I think everyone will be able to create 1 business account and that's it IF ebay verify everyones documents.

Basically it's becoming like Etsy.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

U can get around it by setting up a business bank account and a Ltd company on companies house that way what only want the id of the shareholder.

Plus they want a bank statement of the company bank account so that hides you.
Companies house number again that will be diff to your next account

Chosinf the business way will create to many variables for them to link you to other accounts. Only way they’ll know is the passport pic you’ll send it but your sending thst in as a shareholder. All rest of the info will be diff .. and to my knowledge they need more then 1 solid link on each account to link and shut down accounts. So by changing info on your eBay’s to match each Ltd company you setup with business bank accounts it’s going to be harder for eBay to link all your Ltd companies and shut down your eBay accounts.

So sun up

Diff company house number
Diff company address
Same diff business bank account address to match
Submit your share holder I’d THE ONLY SAME INFO THEY HAVE TO MATCH ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

All info I have said has to be legit am not saying to submit dodgy info. I have 2 companies with diff reg office diff company house numbers and managed by my accountant I’ll just submit my real id but I’ll submit my bank statement for each diff company. Alls eBay have to go on is these accounts linked to these companies have same director. That’s it. Everything else is diff. Now my pt is is that enough for eBay to link both accounts and shut them down if you mess up on one account I.e to many veros etc??? I don’t know it creates one stong link at best eBay will need more then that to shut accounts down in the business category

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Yes of course they can they can do what they like but they are bound to there own rules and it’s common knowledge that to link accounts eBay use 3 common string links to link and close down accounts such as same ip for long time. Same cookies on same user account. Same address & post code. Same number used on account. My thinking again is how will this approach to the companies linked to the accounts. Will there linking system work now with this new MP

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

To actually answer the OP.....

You need to sell off your stuff now. Once managed payments is final then stealth ebay is a thing of the past. That is not my opinion as I am too novice for that but i have seen more than one top rated folks here say this very notion.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Lots of people are saying lots of things

Most of it is just onions and guess work at the moment, especially in the UK.

When it actually starts to get rolled out and the process it gone through there will be a lot more information to work work. Until then its just all a guess.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

James they’ve actually actually released what you need to register as a business for MP. nothing as yet for individual option

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I know they have released the first step, but its still at the early stage and as of yet no one in the UK as far as I know has actually been enrolled into MP

I think the guess work really is just best left until someone actually goes through the entire process start to finish

At the moment a lot is still very unclear from eBay with RE to the transition.

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

I have just enrolled for it on one of my bigger accounts that's a ltd company

they wanted


companies house number
directors address and name, I altered my bank statements address to match my ebays and companies reg office address
my bank details
bank statement screenshot - again I made sure all address and names matched exactly

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

Have you actually started using managed payments though or have you just gone through the first step where they ask for all the details? It’s just first steps at the moment. Long way to go still

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

This is freaking madness. What about just normal people selling on eBay? There’s no way they can make you become a business account if you are just selling a few things?? That makes no sense?

Re: HELP! ACTION REQUIRED: ***** register for managed payments by July 15th
 

But I guess I’m gonna start listing like absolute crazy right now, pack up and sell everything I can and then create another personal account and sell slow. Again this isn’t a business for me, it just pisses me TF off that I’ve been tagged for a business because I literally sold off 40 baseball cards and 15 stamp albums...
