the roll out of ebay managed payments

[lm-entertainment]

i'm sure a lot or most of you probably received the managed payments email this morning. in case you didn't, or missed here - ebay is rolling out managed payments later in the year with pre-registration opening shortly.

more info is located at https://sellercentre.ebay.com.au/managed-payments

Any one know if sellers will be able to decide which payment methods they will accept?

For instance could we not accept paypal?

No.

eBay (or Adyen) will accept any payment methods they decide to. The seller won't know the payment method, so won't be able to pick and choose what they accept.

Is there any particular reason you don't want to accept Paypal? Like having your own merchant facility? That's about the only legitimate reason you would not want to accept Paypal.

I guess you don't really need punctuation in your sentences in the same way that someone eating a big bowl of soup doesn't really need a spoon, or a newborn baby doesnt really need to wear a nappy. It's just a lot less messy for everyone involved when certain conventions are followed.

Begrudgingly signed up for this and am awaiting verification.

The balance of my new eBay bank account is currently $5.00 and I'm a bit concerned the numpties will try to take money out for subscription fees before they even deposit any (even though that's currently set to another account), so perhaps I better add some more funds ...

(Half-joking ...)

It was actually quite painless although as I said, I haven't been verified yet.

That's a good idea using a separate bank account for Managed Payments. I might now use a dormant 'Swiss' bank account for the initial set up.
