Bank deposit payment notification

[ozstockman]

Is that only me or ebay has stopped sending notifications to sellers when a buyer has chosen to pay via bank deposit?

Before as a seller I was getting an email from ebay about it. something like "I will be sending payment of ..... via Bank Deposit shortly"  when a buyer wanted to pay this way. But now nothing is sent to me and it looks like a buyer is not paying at all.

The last email of this sort I recived was in October 2012. I did not know it stopped then. But I can confirm now it has not be working for a least a few months.

Why  ebay has  done such a thing! There is no logic in it from any poit of view and now I have to ask all buyers who have not paid through paypal straight away whether they have done eft or they are having problems paying for their items.

It could be the buyers are direct depositing without marking payment method used.

Or you could check your preferences to see if notifications have changed.

Hover over account tab and select comm prefs.

Look under seller activity.

This annoys me too, but one small saving grace is that my account details for bank deposit are only available via checkout, and they can only be accessed if a buyer completes checkout, so if something sells and no payment via PayPal arrives, I check if checkout has been completed so I at least know that they intend to pay that way and can send my usual message.

Mine stopped suddenly last year too.

I suppose it was helpful to sellers so they removed the function

I do not publish my bank details in my listings, they are availble at checkout only.

I guess if I cannot see checkout process complete that means that ths buyer has not even trying to pay. Is that how it works now?
