But the highlighted in red Terms of Service states (or at least ambiguously suggests) that items using the UK visibility upgrade will be DELISTED (at least for US sellers). Does anyone know if this will or will not happen to Canadian sellers? I can't take the risk of having all of my listings ended.
Hi @dhslk - I've been looking into this and have some insight, but have to give these disclaimers first:
As someone who is not an expert on managed payments I may not be able to address your question in its entirety. If you have been notified to register for managed payments you are able to request a call back from a payments-trained teammate by accessing any of the Help Pages related to payments and using the 'Have us call you' feature at the bottom of the page.
The information provided is accurate as of today's date (29 July 2020) but may become outdated in the future. If you are reading this at a later date please consider checking the Help Pages or request a call back from a managed payments teammate who can provide the most up to date information.
Okay, with that out of the way, here's what I've found (fancy speak follows):
Currently, when your account is activated on managed payments (not just pre-registered but actually 'turned on' for your account), you will not be able to directly create listings on any international* eBay websites. Any of your existing listings on international eBay sites that do not support international sales for your region will be ended and applicable fees credited automatically.
We are continuously working to improve the managed payments experience for our sellers, and we will be expanding our international sales support in the coming months.
*International is defined as any eBay site that isn't your 'home' site.
My interpretation is, disclaimers in mind:
If your account is activated on (^) managed payments, and your listings are all listed on eBay Canada and offer international shipping they are allowed and can sell without issue.
If your account is activated and you are listing directly on a different site (like .com or UK) those listings would be ended. Because of the way International Site Visibility works, those listings would also be ended if the feature is not turned off.
However, this is mostly temporary until such time as cross-listing is supported (scuttlebutt says that it will be much sooner than later, but nothing definitive). If a majority of your listings are listed directly on other sites you are still able to pre-register, but your account would not be activated until multi-site listing is supported.
Thanks for letting me bloviate a bit!
(^) grammar question, is it 'on' or 'in'? Neither really sounds correct. Help me @femmefan1946!

I'm confused by this statement you made..
"f your account is activated and you are listing directly on a different site (like .com or UK) those listings would be ended. Because of the way International Site Visibility works, those listings would also be ended if the feature is not turned off."
1. In the international visibility scenario, would just the listings on the UK site be ended or would they also be ended on the site that they were actually listed as well?
2. I realize that we are being told that if we list on .com we don't have to register for MP right now. However, it was my understanding that if we did register and listed on .com, the buyer's payment would be converted to Cdn$ at our expense and then deposited into our bank account but that sometime in the future they were going to try and set it up so that the money could instead be deposited into a US or $US account. But according to your statement above, our listings on .com would be ended.
One of the reasons that I thought we could still list on .com but our money would be converted was based on this response from
"If you are Canadian, list on .ca, and sell to a US buyer, you only pay the international fee. We’ve discounted this rate for Canadian sellers compared to other payment processors. If you are Canadian, list on .com with your Canadian account and sell to a US buyer, you would pay the international fee and the currency conversion fee. Keep in mind that If you do significant volume on the .com site, you are not required to register at this time"
Based on your comment, perhaps I misunderstood what will actually happen. Which is it..... If we decided to register (even though we aren't required to) our listings will be ended on .com or will they stay on .com but will be connected to our Canadian accounts and will be charged a conversion fee?
Hi @pjcdn2005 - hoping I can clarify! (please reference the disclaimers above)
1. As far as I'm aware, the listing with site visibility would be ended (because International Site Visibility flags a listing as international).
2. At this point in time, you wouldn't be able to list directly on .com, but your listings can be found on .com through search. If a US buyer finds your CA-listed item and pays, those funds would be converted to CAD and paid out. My understanding is that this will not be the case for long, but it's one of the reasons why most folks doing a good share of their business between .com and .ca are not being activated into payments yet. I'll ask for more clarification on this specific example though.
Thanks!
