new payment system?

davidc4430 — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 03:33:52 GMT

won an item today and pressed the 'pay now' button.

no shift to the various pages, before going to PP sign in.

no log into PP.

just clicked on make payment button and went to the thanks for your payment page.

is this new, so used to going through several pages before loging into PP to make payment befor being returned to ebay.

Yep, it's new.

I just did my first one 5 mins ago.

I like it, the new look is simple and easy to read.

I guess the assumption is you are already signed into eBay and perhaps it will only work direct with a purchase in case an eBay account is hacked.

That happened to me. I thought I had clicked auto payment box somewhere.

Not likely though. I don't need people having direct access to my paypal

I actually wanted to change accounts, but I didn't have a choice

Shouldn't be happening.

well as long as its not just me. i thought ebay and PP were now seperate entities, doesnt this sort of make it more like they are back in bed together?

I don't like it at all.

It is far too easy to miss the Paypal button and start filling in the CC/Debit card numbers....I fear we will see a lot of Guest payments being made by inexperienced buyers.

Stawks, when you hit the paypal button the option to change funding sources is there squeezed up in the right hand corner.....VERY easy to miss IMO.

Lyndal, there was no paypal button.

1. Buy it now - click

2. Commit to buy - click

3. Pay now - click - this is where the paypal bit should come up on a new page

allowing me to sign in and change accounts....nope

4. Thank you for your purchase What the???

I mentioned this a little while ago - it's the mobile version of the checkout. I hate it, and refuse to buy anything as long as eBay insist on foisting it on me.

Stawks, have a very close look the next time it comes up....the paypal option is squeezed right up at the top of the page....too easy to miss IMO.

usually you get a review page when you click on a make payment button, just so you can see the whole order before going on to make payment.

looks like ebay has decided to remove that from the process.

and now you dont even have to log into PP to make a payment to ebay.

might be hearing more complaints on this latest 'tweek'

I remember a while ago that Paypal was going to implement members being permanently logged in, maybe that has something to do with it Stalks.

Question people.........................if I may?

What if I want to pay by bank deposit?

Where do I find that option?

Re: new payment system?

davidc4430 — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 07:48:32 GMT

maybe the seller has to have bank deposit listed as a payment option for us to get a page showing a choice?

i think my seller today only acepted PP so maybe thats why i got the direct PP payment.

I like it but I would prefer ebay had a 2 step login option like PayPal does. I use the mobile token for the added security in my Paypal account.

My Paypal logs out after about 8 minutes. I certainly would not be happy if I was constantly logged in. It's a financial services provider; has to manage access, just like a bank.

Maybe it's paypal's version of Paywave - I hate that too

Talk about make things nice and easy for the thieves and cutthroats

Re: new payment system?

davewil1964 — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 08:17:35 GMT

I don't have a problem with Paywave - I'm protected and it's limited to $100. Paypal would only be limited by the balance, which usually includes a minimum of a month's worth of eBay fees and phone. Significantly more than $100.

Re: new payment system?

imastawka — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 08:27:03 GMT

Paywave is limited to $100 per transaction.

Pinch your card and they can go to 10 or more stores - it adds up - as long as there's money in there

I don't always move the paypal money. (It's kinda forced savings)

So it can add up on a good month

If I remember correctly stawks that option is on the list of payment methods if the seller offers it. Once I found the paypal option I did not look any further.
