DINOBOY Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 When since have eBay had this new payment thing where they pay direct into your bank account? Is this legit or a scam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get an email from them like I say about a month back, informing users of the change. I had to go into my profile and accept the change to carry on with eBay. I take it you never got that notification? Ive not been cyber robbed or anything yet!! 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Yes, I had the same. For me, this means I will no longer be selling on ebay, for buying I still use paypal..... My reasoning is due to previous experiences, yes ebay owns paypal, but paypal operate within the financial guide lines and UK distance selling rules, ebay make it up as they go.... For example, I bought a new sump for my Iveco, it was advertised as fitting my van, I checked all the relevant numbers which all cross matched..... Needless to say it didn't fit. I'd paid through ebay, and they wouldn't refund me despite being in clear breach of UK distance selling laws...... Looking at that from a sellers point of view, if they decide you are in the wrong despite what the law says, you have lost your goods and money......

I do about £60k a year on ebay and was one of the first wave of business users to go over to the new system. They pay on the nose every day ( mon - fri) and with my volume it works out cheaper in real terms. Also very much easier to manage.

Odyssey Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I’ve used it, got paid. PayPal was useful when my crazy ex was on the scene as she couldn’t get her hands on my cash from sales.... Geoff and DINOBOY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
