I may be wrong, but I believe a connected bank account will be mandatory starting 2/28/21.

Just read that whilst not mandatory, eBay may restrict new listings or cancel current ones  :roll:

Which pretty much means it's mandatory.... if you want to sell....  

I suspect what will actually happen is that eBay will cajole, pester, threaten and whatever for months as some people transition.  They won't actually stop any sellers for months and months.  That's what they've been doing with active content in listings, for example.  

I don’t see why they need to hold your money for a few days.

Unless by holding many millions a day means they get more interest paid

After an in depth consulting procedure (we sat around and brain stormed ways to make more money so we could hit targets and get paid our bonuses) we have listened to all the feedback (lol.. ) and have now implemented the following new rules (its not like you have a choice hay, you are just going to have to suck it up) We welcome your further feedback (nope.. we will look at the revenue and if it goes up we think of something else to get even more money as that's what we are paid for.. this isn't a charity you know)

Well, without changing anything, minis I’ve sold in the last 48hrs have been paid via eBay process and not PayPal!
So the £50+ is now in the ether waiting to go into my bank. eBay says I’ve been paid and should post the items, but the money isn’t in my hand unlike it would be via PayPal

I've had several transactions like this now and eventually the money shows up in the bank.  I hope your experience is good.  

Deadlord wrote in Ebay about to shoot itself again:Can you define "eventually"? For the charges (22% of the sale including shipping price IIRC) I expect cash delivered to my door in 8 hours.

About four to five days.  

I wonder what happens if you post a statement on your sales saying, 'eBay takes four days to process your payment. We do not ship goods until cleared funds are received. If you but this item it will not be shipped until 5 days after payment.'
