ebay managed payments - anyone using this future mandatory service yet?

I'm a small time, low end seller. Can someone explain to me why they haven't forced me to go to managed payments ? Is it just for large volume sellers ?

Eventually, it will be for everyone. Eventually. But they do appear to have started from the top down. Which kind of makes sense when you consider that it's no less effort on their part to get a small seller to switch over than a large seller, but the payoff in additional fees that they then collect is bigger with a large-volume seller.

One might also assume that a large seller would be less likely to walk, thereby cutting off that revenue stream, than a part-time / hobby seller would be, but I've not seen any kind of numbers on that (not sure how one would go about compiling those anyway, other than from a handful of anecdotal accounts, as eBay sure isn't being clear with either the seller adoption rate or a hard timeline for full turnover).

I've only sold 5 or 6 cards on ebay in 18 years and I got an email that
said I had until January 25th to update.

I want to remind everyone that, in addition to the BST forum here, there are also lots of card groups on Facebook. You can get paid in cash or Paypal direct.
