In the late teens it finally started improving.
Then as eBay got more sophisticated, customer service went right down the tubes. In the aughts when eBay was fairly simple, customer service was great. Had to google outside of eBay to even find this. It takes more time to control your cushion whichever payout timing you select. Now you have to do a lot more juggling to figure out where you are if you want daily payouts. With PayPal you could easily and transparently leave a cushion for labels not yet printed. I don't think eBay did enough beta testing on a wide enough variety of sellers before they launched it. The new payout on demand is helpful, but doesn't let you control the amount. In a small operation like mine where I need tight control of cash flow, it has caused a lot of extra work. I don't always know exactly which day I am going to mail before the actual shipping date and eBay has often done its payout before that. I want my money available daily, but daily payouts don't work if you don't preprint your labels before eBay finishes processing, you can easily get caught short of funds to print labels. If I understand what a transfer is (and not sure I do), eBay's automatic Payout scheme doesn't allow you to control your own funds. With PayPal, since you were in charge of transferring money, if you got caught short of funds it was your own doing. That may have been true in 2020, but the information you mention above is not under the Payments tab>Reports now anywhere that I can find.
