Another point is that not all countries have been put on the managed payment system. So, I had a customer in Ireland purchase an item and tried to pay for it and kept getting an error message. I called ebay and they explained that Ireland is not yet part of the managed payment plan situation. So, in order for the customer to pay for the item, she had to log in to ebay.com (U.S. counterpart) and go through hoops to pay for the item. I've had a few others that didn't want to deal with it and just cancelled the order. The rep told me that ebay is systamatically implementing the program in all countries, but it may take at least year for that to be accomplished. The other thing that is new in this system is they now charge an international fee for anything sold outside the U.S. if you are a U.S. Ebay seller.

Ebay Managed Payments is just another additional power grab by Ebay to eventually take total control over seller accounts and to make a lot more money. Originally, they said it would make it so much easier for sellers and it would also be less expensive. They've cut out PayPal where a seller would have immediate access to their money. So now, since sellers don't have immediate access to their money as they use to and have to sometimes wait many days in order to access their money, it's not easier. By holding onto seller's funds for days on end, ebay is making millions more on that interest. In addition, as Sue states, since they now charge fees to sellers on Sales Tax paid by buyers, it's more expensive and sellers are making less. I've actually found that I'm being charged more, even if they didn't charge a fee on the Sales Tax. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if they cut out USPS, FedEx and UPS and start their own mailing system where sellers are forced to ship through ebay.
