Duh.
One would think that eBay would have identified the tracking on the listing and have a different email. Kinda like a flow chart.

This dude can't even wait to post his auction until he's home and actually washed his hands or something....look at those finger prints on that left card, plus a bonus groin-ish shot. Ebay etiquette what?

As of June 1st ebay is forcing you to unlink paypal and link up directly to your bank. Ebay couldnt be trusted with the color of your house, let alone your bank. Atrocious security.

This is all done in the name of cheaper fees and expanding payment options. I think both companies are shooting themselves in the foot.

ImageThe trick is to use a bank account, wait for it, with no money in it.

Pro tip: your ebay name doesn't need to match your bank account. Just continue to identify yourself as bob head when you call in.

Yeah I think I am done with ebay because of the change. Sellers been getting the short end of the stick for too long. The change also comes with a raise in fees.

eBay managed payments is far more seller friendly when it comes to having issues with buyers, at least in my experience so far. I've been on since July I believe so just about a year now. Chargebacks are resolved in my favor with proof of delivery. Item not received because usps is annoying these days gets the refund reversed when the item shows up a month later. Buyer used an item and sent it back? I keep 50% when refunding them. Buyer complains and eBay placates them without any effect to me. I've had all these situations arise multiple times in the last year and eBay always has me covered. In the past if a buyer didn't like the result of complaining on eBay they would then force your hand by complaining to PayPal. This change has been a huge positive for me selling on EBay. It's been 20 years at this point and I welcome this round of changes with open arms.

How long does Ebay take to transfer funds? Are the funds transferred automatically? Are you forced to ship through ebay and is it automatically pulled from your sale along with Ebay fees? Are international sales forced into global shipping program?

2 business days to initiate transfer then money shows up at bank the next day. It happens automatically. You ship the way you choose to. You still have the choice to set international shipping to the rate and service you specify, or GSP, or both. eBay fees being pulled automatically from collected funds has been nice as well.

What do you need to do to get the chargeback reversed after the item shows up a month late due to USPS?

Thanks :-)

Hadn't bought or sold anything on eBay for a long while, but did both yesterday. Things have really changed.
