Ebay new changes

[sevencats11164]

So i'm confused with the new changes.Can i still pay for an item through Paypal and have the buyer protection...or do i now have to pay into seller bank account with no protection what so ever????

You will still be able to pay as usual through Paypal until at least 2023 apparently.

Wow that's a first a buyer worried about the changes for the sellers that's so nice

I see it that the buyer is worried that she has to go back to bank transfer with it's attendant lack of buyer protection.

But by 2023 it won't be bank deposit as I'm sure it will be ebay deposit and there will be buyer protection otherwise ebay may as well kiss their platform goodbye.

eBay (not buyers) pay sellers the money they've received from sales into the seller's bank account, just like PayPal did, because under the new system, buyers pay eBay - the only time a buyer will pay a seller directly will be if they pay cash on pick-up. 

Bank deposit, cheques, and money order are not even available under the new system.

So when PayPal is done as a payment option in 2023 what will be a buyers protection regarding the payment system that's in place with MP?

Has ebay got this in place right now?

TBH I slate that as an "if" PayPal is withdrawn in 2023, but buyers will have access to the MBG, and / or any protections the payment services they use to make payment offer. I've never used GPay, Apple wallet or any of those, so not sure if they have any "in house" protections, but the MBG is sufficient for the majority of purchases, and for any cases where it's not, I expect the payment service being used (credit / debit card etc) has protections that can be accessed instead.
