I had a lot of IC's that I'd acquired and was slowly selling via ebay. Just pulled all my ads down. The last thing I want is ebay to have direct access to my bank account.

If they wanted to process payments themselves they shouldn't have sold off paypal.

For making payments, I think so, but I haven't checked. As a seller I can't receive paypal any longer via ebay, they want payments to go straight to my bank.

I got my email notice about two days ago which I verified via the ebay website to make sure it was legit. It basically said I cannot start any new listings until I provided all the required info, my current listings would stay up until they expired but wouldn't auto-renew. Funny thing is this notice said it was the 'final notification', but I had never received any previous ones.

I'd also been getting a lot of requests over the past few months saying they were requiring more info for the items I had for sale, which really got annoying. Same threat with those too... update or the ads will disappear on the next auto-renewal.

Since I'd only been using it to sell surplus parts and other little things there's no loss for me. The extra couple bucks here and there were nice but losing ebay doesn't really hurt me at all.

Got an email today they're also eliminating the ebay bucks for buyers. Never really a huge deal for me since I rarely buy on ebay any more, but just chipping away a bit at a time.
