Ebay -PayPal +Adyen: what does it mean for private sellers?
(1/4) > >>
tggzzz:
I've just noticed that Ebay is changing from PayPal to Ayden. This was announced in 2018, resurfaced in February 2020, and I believe it is beginning to be rolled out.

Ebay has the usual "it will be a better experience" statements, without spelling out all the actual differences. Searching ebay's help page for ayden adyen returns several pages, none of which mention ayden adyen, doh!

I've done a quick search for ebay and ayden adyen. There are mutterings about being paid directly to your bank account, having to provide extra detailed financial information, problems with matching ebay names and bank account names, not understanding how this will work for occasional private sellers, etc. But I haven't found anything I regard as solid information.

So, if someone can point me to a high quality statement, I'd be grateful.

Thanks for bringing it to my/our attention, I will keep an eye on the situation.

Their announcement, sounds a bit like when a food product, you've bought for years, and really enjoyed.
Suddenly says on it "New, improved recipe and flavour. 17.93% better than before".

Which means, translated into English. We have replaced the nice, healthy flavoursome old recipe, with much cheaper and nastier ingredients. Which tastes significantly worse than the old recipe. You then are somewhat forced to find an alternative.

By the way, it is spelt, 'Adyen', apparently.

My searches and reading up on it (only a very rough and ready indication). Is that people, seem to be quietly/cautiously pleased/welcoming it, by a tiny/small nudge, and/or they don't mind too much.
N.B. Only by a tiny/modest amount, and only an early indication.

Doh!. Subject title changed. Still get zero relevant results in fleabays "help" system.

That was the best I found, but it is from 2018 and is little more than a rehash of the fleabay press release. Which? does that too much now :(

So Paypal will still be there, but it can only become more shit as we go forward. I wouldn't have ever thought that Paypal could become even more shit but there you go!

And Paypal can go eat a bag of dicks because they no longer are replacing their auth footballs and sun-setting those with them.  :--

For a buyer, it means I might consider starting using eBay :-DD

Maybe, if that new thing is any better ::)
