As of this week, eBay is starting to switch sellers to eBay payments, and for those with a cash advance pending, the question arises of how to repay PayPal working capital.
It is important to understand that until the moment you migrate to eBay payments, you will be repaying your PayPal working capital with a percentage of your eBay sales (and website or other place of sale). This will not change until your eBay account is activated for eBay payments and funds stop flowing to your PayPal account.
“Your automatic refunds will continue until you switch to eBay Managed Payments. Once you have moved, we will no longer see your individual eBay sales, which means PayPal will not be able to accept automatic refunds for those sales. If you make sales outside of eBay, that is, through your independent website or in-store, PayPal will continue to provide automatic refunds on those sales. “

Your minimum repayment amount can be 5% or 10% of the funding.
