  • its no different to how it used to work with Paypal or now with Vinted don't really see the issue tbh

  • It was more poking fun at the potential regulatory rebrand

    I think the fee thing is smart, the eBay balance seems questionable given they now have complete control of your finances.
    Before you could authorise a payment or pay through PayPal/ withdraw to bank account. Now they operate an ‘open’ account where you can use your eBay balance for purchases, paying fees and withdrawing. Which seems like they would need some sort of financial regulation / accreditation.

  • Interesting, I don't know anything about the regulatory side of things but does make me think of the millions in an account supposedly from unused Oyster cards, what happens to the money in personal Ebay accounts if left unspent?
