Maybe behaviour like [this](https://community.monzo.com/t/ebay-paypal-avoiding-dcc-on-forex-payments/29272/7?u=merkitten) has shown them they need to use a more honest provider? One can hopeā€¦ ---

Starting to get annoyed with the loose term of ā€œfintech startupā€ Adyen are pretty huge and been around for while. ---

I would almost be happy paying more just to stick two fingers up at Paypal! ---

I wonder how the money will be sent to peopleā€™s bank accounts? PayPal worked well for sellers in the sense you had a wallet of money that wasnā€™t associated with eBay. ---

Presumably just standard bank transfer, which to be fair is good enough - PayPal-style ā€œwalletsā€ have their uses but nobody needs one if they just want to sell something online. ---

Good news! I got interested in fintech following issues with Paypal, not related to eBay. (Apart from the eBay perks, where an Adyen account will replace Paypal) Can a Monzo current account replace Paypal anywhere that takes card payments? ---

Presumably Adyen wouldnā€™t offer accounts at all because 90% of people just want to sell their stuff and not get yet another account. The remaining 10% will keep using PayPal and everyone is happy. ---

This news was announced almost 3 years ago so shouldnā€™t be such a shock. eBay was clear then that the operating agreement with PayPal ā€œhas not been extended and it will not be extendedā€ and that the split would benefit sellers as well as buyers. I think eBays new payment processor will be live by the end of the year and the next interesting step will be 2023 when the PayPal contract fully ends and will no longer have to be offered as ā€˜first choiceā€™ for eBay. > **[eBay drops PayPal as first choice for payments](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-42905465)** > > The online marketplace says the move will benefit both sellers and buyers. ---

It does make you wonder how theyā€™re going to offer buyer protection. Paypal were good at siding with the buyer, but with money going straight into the sellers account I canā€™t see it being straight foward to retrieve should the worst happen. ---

PayPal would often hold onto money in case there was a dispute so eBay could do something similar. ---
