Ebay - New Managed Payments System and Rules

[sovtsf]

Has anyone found that since this new payment structure has been introduced that they havn’t had the £1 listing offer? 
 

I’m not signed up yet to the new method and I havn’t had the £1 listings offer for a month or so and I always got it before.

I've had it twice since they let bullion be sold and this weekend is one of them, it comes on every two weeks

I haven't signed up. They send me reminders every so often which are more like warnings.

I was getting the £1 fees every 2 weeks but that has stopped recently. My last "reminder" said I could miss out on promotions, so I assume that's why.

I'll probably make the switch Tuesday, since Gordy recently informed me that you can now sell bullion.

I have had  £1 offers for the last 4 weekends . I switched to the new payment system . First payment was fine, but the second payment went the usual way via PayPal. Can't make head or tail of any of it. As long as i get paid one way or the other i'm not bothered.

Did you switch before the last 4 weekends?

No, it was half way . I'm not a huge seller , i just assumed everyone got the offer regularly. I don't understand why they keep sending it to me . 

[sovtsf]

Thanks, I did until the last month or so and then assumed no one else was until I looked into it. Just switched to managed payments and it only took 2 minutes, will see if this changes the £1 offer oops now

Can anyone tell me what's the longest they have been without being offered £1 seller fees? Seems like it's been forever for me and I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with the new payment scheme...

i get it every two weeks

I've got until the end of May to switch. The thing is, I've given up selling on eBay, I do still buy from it though. Question is, can I simply remain a buyer if I ignore switching? I'm not bothered about selling again.

if you're not bothered about selling i'd just go with it and switch as you're going to be forced to anyway at some point, you can still buy using paypal

I had until end of May. Switched couple weeks ago. Still ain’t had the promotion in ages. I’ve just decided to stop using eBay altogether until the promotion returns.

I used to get the £1 final value fee offer every fortnight up until the 5th March this year, which was my last one. I'm still on PayPal payments and haven't had an invite to move to eBay managed payments yet. I loathe having to pay 10% selling fees plus the PayPal fees so I'm listing a lot less nowadays.

It's my theory that those still on PayPal payments have had the £1 final fee offer stopped, perhaps to encourage the move to managed payments.

Is there anyone out there who is still getting the £1 final value fee and if so, which payment scheme are you using?

19th Feb was the last email for the £1 listings I got. Still on PayPal. 

Your theory could be right. I haven't had an invite to move over to eBay managed payments though

Received this message today from eBay and it answers most questions I guess.
It used to be a jungle making any claims as eBay and PayPal worked independently and if you entered a claim on one the other didn't want to know.
Now all down to eBay but will you have the same buyer / seller protection ?

I have not handed over my bank details because, unless I'm mistake, it's basically a direct debit;

meaning, yes - great, you get paid within 2 days, but on the downside, if a dispute starts with some scammer (and there's plenty), eBay always side with the buyer, so the money can be pulled even faster to some crooked buyer and you get your item (or something substituted) and you're stuffed.

I found the way to stop  a lapse in the £1 weekend offers, is to put up just one item 'as normal' - once they see selling activity, the offers start again.

Yes I dont like the thought of handing over the control of my bank account to ebay to subtract fees and refunds whenever they like .

Paypal are also going to start charging a £12 yearly fee if the Paypal account is not used

The last part is good to hear, selling with a 13% fee is generally a poor idea. You are right about the direct access to a bank account part.

Never got a £1 selling fee offer this week but a 80% off final fee offer . It's good but not as good as £1.  On another note, eBay messaged me to say they were taking a fee of £1  from my account that was owed   .  I checked my account and nothing has been taking.  Rather odd.

How does it work do you get 80% off the 13% fee and pay nothing for taking payment? so it works out as 2.6% total?

[Gordy]

the fee is about 12.8% isnt it? so 80% off that it works out similar tbh if youre selling stuff 30-40 quid.. expensive stuff will obviously be more.. so choose wisely lol

Like you @Pete , I received the "invite" to move over to managed payments on Wednesday. It was straight forward enough, just a matter of entering in my bank details.

And then this morning, just as @pricha did, I received my first final value fee offer since March 5th. 80% off deal, which is good enough for me start listing items again. My other eBay account is still on Paypal payments and I never received a final value fee offer on that account. Form your own opinions but I guess if you're still with PayPal then you won't see any final fee offers until you make the move to eBay managed payments.
