So has everyone signed up for managed payments?

[musicyouneed]

I am just wondering whether everyone has signed up for managed payments?  Is it already working.  I have hesitated as my money goes into a US bank account and wonder how that is going to work?  What is the cut off day to sign up and what happens when that day comes around?

There is always a possibility that the information you have for registration may not be complete.

Register now...

Do not wait... Do not hesitate..... because your information for registration may not be complete... 

Something may be missing or is not correct

---------------------------------

My registration date was May 12, 2020... and it was completed very quickly

Registration was completed by noon... and successfully verified and completed by 6:00 PM

Auctiva is used as a listing tool...

And Auctiva is ready for my transition to Managed Payments.  This was confirmed yesterday, July 7.

The transition to Manage Payments is moving on quickly....

Your right… there isn't an actual date. It looks like my last message was Jun.2/20 also. I know it's July.15/20 because I read all the posts on eBay.com. 

Here's my last message:

silverpinups, register now for managed payments

This is an important and unique distinction for some businesses, and our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible. If your business does a high volume of trade with the US we encourage you to complete registration. Rest assured that we will only activate your account once your business needs meet the features that are available with managed payments.

1. Verify your information

FWIW I've not received any invites to Managed Payments and if I click on the "Here to complete registration link" it tells my I can't sign up and need to wait until I'm invited.

Got the email today... sign-up for Managed Payments by July15/20.

Hi silverpinups,

Your account is scheduled to be enabled for managed payments in late July, and you must register by July 15th. You only have a week left to register.

If you sell to the US or on the US site directly, we understand that you may want to get paid out in other currencies. We’re working on a solution for this and our goal is to make this transition as seamless as possible. We recommend that you register now to ensure that your information is validated. As a reminder, we will only activate your account for managed payments once the available features match your business needs.

So, they've sent you an ultimatum that you must register "now" then in the their next breath admit MP does not currently meet your needs so they won't be activating your account until some future date. Why the h@@@ must you register now!!

Well the way I look at it is they want you locked in. The more sellers that register now even though their accounts might not be activated until a later date is that eBay won't have to chase after these sellers later. 

It's like managing a herd of cattle. The more they brand now the less they have to worry about later....
