Are you saying you are now in Managed Payments and have had no sales since you were switched over?

There is at least one thread where people are talking about how fast it takes their Managed Payments to show up in their bank account.  So there are Managed Payments sales.

I note that you are selling in a category that is eligible for the bonus 10000 free store listings so you will have more competition.

How well did selling hockey cards in August last year compare?

Buyers can pay with Paypal both before and after Managed Payments became a reality.

I'm fully activated on MP and no issues. Still getting sales and I have been getting payments in my bank.

You've been a member since 2009.  And you have received over 3000 positive FB.

So your records can tell you if your August sales are low, high or normal compared to last year and 2018 and 2017 and 2013.

Like many other sellers, I had a huge pandemic surge in sales from March through early July .

The surge was not just me, besides reports here and on dotCOM, I could also see my postage buyers who were approaching me for large amounts of discount postage, and in enough categories that it looks like the surge was widespread.

Reports from the post office agreed that online buying was hot. The Globe and Mail reported that online sales went from about 3% of retail to about 10% of retail sales in Canada.

And then sales stopped dead for a couple of weeks.

They seem to have picked up again. We'll see.

More to your point, that drop off happened although I am not yet in Managed Payments.

And a buyer doesn't know if the seller is in the program or not. She is using PP as before, or her credit card, and now might notice she can also use ApplePay and GooglePay.
