There shouldn’t be a problem with GoDaddy and PayPal. I suggest opening a support case with GoDaddy. Donald (the guy who always seems to respond to mine) is typically very helpful.
I don’t have a lot of accounts to sync (just PayPal so far, and now Wells Fargo for Managed Payments), and it’s worked very well for me for the last few years. Just hoping the Managed Payments related issues get fixed soon.
My best recent free score was a black watch plaid Pendleton wool shirt in great condition. Free pile at the side of the road. My best recent score overall was a cobalt blue Heath teapot for $30.
It takes 2-3 days (could be business days) from the time the buyer pays to get that money in a payout. Plus there are no payouts on weekends – at least there haven’t been for me. So if you’re getting your first payout tomorrow, looks like everything is going as expected, and if you sell something every day, you should get another payout the next day.

A Basic store gives you more than just more free listings. You also get $100 worth of free shipping supplies per year, Final Value Fees are a tiny bit lower than with a Basic store, and you get Terapeak.
Yes, that’s exactly how it works.
interesting – hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the suggestion!
I’ve been in Managed Payments for over a week now. I have not received any notes like that.

Thanks for the tip. Is your PayPal account a “business” account by any chance? B/c when I click on the link you provided, it just takes me to the regular home/summary screen. Of course there is also a big button that says “upgrade to business account” – are there any cons to doing that, if that’s the issue here?
07/31/2020 at 1:15 pm in reply to: Managed Payments: Paying for shipping with a credit card – how? #80211OK, I now see that when I am going to pay for a shipping label, I can choose between paying via pending payouts or a PayPal account. So I suppose if I empty my PayPal account, then it will charge my credit card. This is kind of the same as before, except that it is easier to keep the PayPal account empty now that ebay isn’t depositing money in there anymore.
Kind of strange that PayPal is the only option, since I thought the idea was to get rid of PayPal-specific stuff in ebay, but this should work.
Hopefully my answering my own question will be helpful to someone else.
It’s happening everywhere now. I’ve had more such cases in the last couple of months that in the entire last 3-4 years.

So I just tried the bulk printing way, and those look more like invoices (and are called that in the UI except in one place) and not at all like the nicer looking packing slips I’m used to using. My request to ebay is to allow bulk printing of packing slips.
Right – The problem is that discrepancy in terminology and layout, not that you can print different ways. Different ways is great – I may try the other way now and see if that works better for me – I hadn’t realized you could do that outside of bulk shipping.
But I actually do see the two addresses on the individual packing slips that I print – not sure why they’re not coming up for Margana. Yet another reason for ebay to do some cleanup work before adding new features.

Recently (July 21, 2020), eBay has made a change to the way they account for your eBay fees. Rather than receiving a lump-sum payment for your fees, eBay Managed Payments is now deducting these fees directly from the transaction.
Due to these changes, we are no longer receiving these fees through eBay’s API. We are in talks with eBay to see if this can/will be reverted to how we were sent data previously, or if they are going to start including these fees through their API so we may download them.
We don’t, however, have an ETA on if/when this will occur. Our apologies as we understand that having all of your fees is crucial to proper bookkeeping.
Margana, So your packing slips still show amount paid (minus sales tax)? Mine haven’t included that for a long time. I remember someone saying that they heard from ebay that they took the amount paid out of the packing slips to deal with gift situations. It was meant to be non-optional only temporarily, but that’s never changed for me . Was this removal of dollar amounts not rolled out to everyone? Perhaps this is another difference between bulk shipping and non-bulk shipping?
Before they roll out new features, they should clean up things like this, as well as the discrepancy between printing “This is not an invoice” on the packing slip, but calling it a “invoice/packing slip” in the bulk shipping UI.
