I'm confusing myself on the Paypal/eBay linkage. I feel like eBay owned Paypal at one time and just somewhat recently sold it?
The new payments thing MIGHT be good. eBay will make regular payments to sellers bank accounts I think you get to choose bi weekly or monthly, something like that. They did some stupid song and dance about how they weren't going to charge some fee but then they are raising something else so you aren't really saving anything.
The shit part for me is I use a Paypal Micro Payments account for some of my sales like the magnets. The micro payments account charges 5 cents and 5% per sale. A standard account charges 30 cents and 2.9% per sale. The break even amount is $12. If the payment is under $12 you save money with micro payments, if its over $12 you are better with a standard account.
Also the new system makes it against the rules to sell coupons, so that will be gone soon.
Paypal was indeed owned by eBay at one point. Not for quite some time now.
I never heard of the micro payments thing. All of my eBay sales I think are still paid through me from PayPal, but I could be wrong I suppose.
That sucks about coupons. I don't sell them often, but occasionally.
