I don't know what's going to happen "in late July" (still annoyed that there is not a definitive date the axe is set to fall), but it's sure to be a mess.

Well I let the $50 invoice credit slide by, and today is the deadline for me to sign up. So far, I still cannot add new listings, but those that were on Good 'Til Cancelled are rolling over to another 30 day cycle without issue. There has been no noticeable change in the rate of sales for those fixed price listings, though I haven't been running auctions in the interim. Still waiting this one out to see how it all goes down. My curiosity is worth more than the $50 credit at this point.
For anyone looking to make the switch, from what I have heard, you would do well to verify in advance that your name and address associated with your checking account match exactly what you have registered with eBay (easiest to modify your eBay registration to match). Otherwise, even if only a middle initial is different, they start asking for additional information to verify you are who you say you are, and the array of hoops you have to jump through gets longer.
