In reply to modelcitizen. Unfortunately for you most stamp sellers are going to be leaving eBay and most are going to HipStamp like I am because eBay has their heads in the sand and are forcing me and many others into managed payments which I will not do. They want everything to be paid immediately and they have no clue at all as to what a normal eCommerce site is. I have been selling on there since 1999 and been accepting PayPal since 2001 and it will all be coming to an end this month.

One size doesn’t always fit all! I buy a lot of small items from stamp dealers. They start the items at a quarter to 99 cents, and final cost to me is in the $1 to $10 range. These sellers tell you to NOT pay immediately, but to hold off until you have all your purchases and make one payment. That helps them with Paypal fees and they combine postage. They will invoice me every few weeks and I pay. That way they get one $20-25 sale rather than 15 dollar something sales,

eBay on the other hand, chases you persistently to pay immediately for each item. My text alarm on my phone goes off all the time, I also get annoying emails. Can’t eBay have a setting for this type of seller?

Wow, now if only eBay managed to pay me for stuff I sold within four days. To be fair, they’re getting better, but only better than the very low bar of managed payments. They have a long way to go before they even approach PayPal.

by NOT automatically charging the buyer’s account when they win a bid or make an accepted offer, EB is losing money as well as the seller. By waiting DAYS to get payment, we’re losing. Whereas Posh automatically charges the sale when an offer is accepted.

Some repeat buyers take longer than others to pay. New buyers who fail to before eBay loses track of the transaction are blocked. A rogue seller in the UK found a way to create fake offshore accounts to purchase expensive items with no intention to pay. Require immediate payment for more expensive items worked.

As usual, no word from eBay about punishment for the bad buyers? Sure, let’s simply “cancel” the sale so that these jerks can just continue to waste the time and energy of other sellers.
