You’re right. I have already tried to sell other ways as much as possible but some of the things eBay just reaches a wider audience. I have always considered the fees as part of the deal but holding the money stinks.Dr Tony Balls wrote: ↑Mon May 17, 2021 3:15 pm If its anything like the way Reverb works they hold your funds till the item is shipped. And by "shipped" I mean when the tracking number is scanned in by the carrier. Cant comment on Ebay though. But, the long and short of it, IMO, is you just gotta deal with it if you wanna use that service to sell stuff.

Re: Ebay Sales Payouts
I think about how many things I bought/sold through ebay in the dark ages when everyone used money orders...suppose it could be worse.

Re: Ebay Sales Payouts
I sold a guitar a while ago and had no idea that they changed the way payments are processed. As soon as the buyer sent the money i got a message stating that eBay were going to hold the money for 21 days.
I contacted the buyer and told him I won't be sending the guitar until I have the funds in my bank account. We ended up mutually agreeing to cancel the sale.

Re: Ebay Sales Payouts
Wow! they wanted to hold your money for 21 days?! That is insane. It seems like they want to pass it off as how much better for the seller it is, but the reality is that it moves the seller further out of the loop.
I checked in with eBay and they indicated the money would be there on Monday. It has now been updated to Tuesday. I am going to change my handling time to 5 days with this new system. Paying for shipping upfront and not actually having the money in your account seems too risky.

Re: Ebay Sales Payouts
Reverb had the exact same thing with their payouts now as well. And of course we all pay sales tax now regardless of where the item comes from. Seems like the middle men are doing just fine! Lol

Re: Ebay Sales Payouts
This is a shame, and probably why i have only ever bought off of ebay. If they keep everybodys money in a high interest account, they're quids in the barstewards.
