Maybe behaviour like this has shown them they need to use a more honest provider? One can hopeā¦

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

I wonder how the money will be sent to peopleās bank accounts? PayPal worked well for sellers in the sense you had a wallet of money that wasnāt associated with eBay.

Presumably just standard bank transfer, which to be fair is good enough - PayPal-style āwalletsā 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 wouldnāt 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.
Given how long the partnership has gone on, this is simply huge
This news was announced almost 3 years ago so shouldnāt be such a shock. eBay was clear then that the operating agreement with PayPal āhas 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 āfirst choiceā for eBay.

Iām excited to see how this plays out
If I canāt use PayPal credit once the full contact is over then thatās me not buying anything from eBay and Iāll just scour the internet for what I need

It does make you wonder how theyāre going to offer buyer protection.
Paypal were good at siding with the buyer, but with money going straight into the sellers account I canāt see it being straight foward to retrieve should the worst happen.
Not used eBay or PayPal for years in any meaning full way, and never will so not bothered either way 
Direct debit, perhaps?
PayPal would often hold onto money in case there was a dispute so eBay could do something similar.
