PayPal Banishment

[rcathey]

And one more little update on this.

As discussed earlier in the thread, eBay is moving away from PayPal and migrating users to their new payment platform called "Managed Payments."

I was told by eBay over the phone that they cannot currently just "push a button" to opt people into Managed Payments. It is a case-by-case review of sellers and only a limited amount will be let in per year due to "certain agreements with PayPal."

But here's the deal, you can request to be considered for the trial through a page on their site. Since I'm on the computer every night printing shipping labels anyway, I just left this page up and requested their consideration every night for about 3 weeks.

And now I'm in! Coincidence???

I know not everyone loves eBay, and I certainly don't agree with them politically, but in a war of attrition the troops need supplied by any means.

Today is a very good day for this particular small (one-man) business.
