I stopped selling on ebay when they started to talk about their 'managed payments' and other new 'seller requirements' a couple of years ago and I never looked back.
It's still a darn shame, as ebay used to be such a great place for both buyers and sellers. That was a LONG time ago, of course. Now it's nothing but another money grabbing scheme for the empty suits and their bottomless corporate greed. And yes, the ebay bank seems the next logical step. As to Paypal: Like ebay, they also manage to find new ways to reach deeper in our pockets. Their last 'improvement' now has the commission based on previous month's turnaround. So if you have a slow month, they will punish you with higher fees.
