Now, I am told by ebay’s customer service, I must wait for payment until one day after ebay receives delivery confirmation. Once that confirmation was received, I would prepare the item for shipment and take it to the post office. In the past, when those items sold, i would get an email from ebay advising me that the item sold and that the funds were on deposit in my PayPal account. I typically carry 20-30 listings on ebay. It has been generally a good relationship, albeit fraught with an occasional hickup. I have been an ebay customer, both as buyer and seller, for more than 20 years. This has likely become one of its largest footprints in the timeline of things. This will likely be a noticeable blow to PayPal as eBay has been in such a close relationship with the company since 2002.

Everything can be handled on eBay’s platform.ĮBay is giving users until May 28 (2021) to update their information so that their accounts are ready to go as things transition. From listing an item to sell to being paid and printing the shipping label. From adding to your cart to making your way to the order confirmation. No longer having to leave eBay, even for the briefest of moments. This will bring the entire checkout experience into one place. Allowing users plenty of time to kick the habit and get adjusted to the new process. PayPal is still going to be offered as a “secondary” payment option (along with options like Google Pay and Apple Pay), and will likely remain so until 2023 where eBay will then decide on completely dropping PayPal as an option or not (sounds like they will be as of now). So the user will never leave eBay and may likely never even see the name (Adyen) during the process as it will all be branded as part of eBay’s checkout system. Mostly, a requirement to update their account information by adding the details of the bank account they’d like to receive payments to.ĮBay signed into an agreement with Adyen back in 2018, to become the company’s official payment processor. In fact, it was supposed to happen last year but likely got delayed because of everything the world has been going through.Īn email has been making its way to eBay users, informing them of the new change. This was actually a moment in the making since eBay announced last year that they would be breaking away from using PayPal as the official payment system for the auction platform (a plan that has been in the works since 2018).
