You don't wait to get paid. If you get the sold/paid email, you ship it. The money gets to you at some point, but I have never heard of someone shipping and then NOT getting the money. It's a leap of faith, I know, but it always works out. Just ship it as soon as you can, and definitely within your stated handling time. Don't change your handling time. If you get the extra 10% off in fees because you are Top Rated Plus, don't mess that up. Ship it.

To my knowledge, yes. Maybe someone else has more information on that.

The bright thing for them to do is to let you use the funds in your MP account to buy things on eBay. But they are too dumb to see it.

As it is now, if someone purchases something on eBay using any of the accepted payment methods, eBay will get charged a fee by those companies. EBay then passes that cost on to the seller in their FVF as part of the processing fee. But if eBay let people use their MP money to buy stuff, eBay would incur no fee to move it from the MP account to their own receiving account. No other company involved. Could be millions of dollars per year that they could keep. How they miss this, I don't know.

	Hi, My first auction closed today since eBay has switched over to the direct deposit method for sellers. I received an email from eBay stating my buyer had paid, however, there is no way for me to verify this. Do I take eBay’s word and ship now or wait for the funds to appear in my account. Thanks in advance for any help.

	Ship when they tell you it's paid. If you go in to your account and "payments" (https://ppcapp.ebay.com/myppc/wallet/list) it'll show money processing, on-hold, etc... It usually takes a day or two for them to tell you they are sending your payout, then depending on your bank it may be another day until it shows up in your account.

	You have to wait until ebay pays. I think there are 2 options for ebay payments. 1 of the options is 1 time payment a week.

	I hate this new eBay managed payments system, paying with PayPal was soooo much easier. However once the buyer had paid eBay, the email that you get from them should also say that you can now send the item. This has happened to me several times and I have posted the comics. It then takes 2/3 days for the amount, less fees to show in your designated account. Your eBay overview page should show you the progress.

	I kinda like the program. I like that they take out the fees and don't charge you later for them. That to me is so much better since I don't need to keep track of how much I owe them later. I have one person doing a refund and them freezing your assets isn't cool though. Although I don't recall what happened prior to managed payments.....

	By all means, open a separate account.

	Personally, I really like the program. Like @Bronte said, you end up owing a lot less in fees. If you were using Paypal before, you would owe Ebay their fee for selling. Then you would owe PayPal their fee for doing the payment. The only part that's a hassle for me is I still move everything over to my Paypal account to 1. use if for shipping costs and 2. keep it separate from my regular bank account money. I have it set up where I get paid once a week. If you go to Payments in your Seller Hub, it will give you the status of your payment.

Whatever eBay is saving from processing the payment themselves - they keep rather than sharing with seller. Only benefit (if you utilize) is they additional free listings provided
