Not that it really matters to your points, but eBay and Paypal split in 2015.

Not only did they split, they just forced all sellers to move from PayPal to direct deposit: https://gizmodo.com/ebay-and-paypal-finally-break-up-for-goo...

This is what caused me to let me eBay seller account die - they demanded Social Security Number (SSN) to continue selling. Call me crazy but giving my SSN to a company where the C-suite thugs sent live cockroaches to bloggers for negative articles seems like a bad idea.

Was this before or after they had to force-reset everyone's account password because their user data was compromised?

The ask last 4 now only. At least they no longer asked full SSN from me, like they did initially.

That sounds like good news. I don't see why i should have to give PP a cut of everything i sell on Ebay.

The cost to seller is mostly the same. eBay is now taking the cuts (the cut they have always taken plus the cut that used to be taken by PayPal) themselves instead.

I am ambivalent, but the reduced fees are nice.

And in the small print, turning that on allows ebay to make withdrawals against your deposit account!
