My account status says above standard in fact it says I will be evaluated as a top rated seller on March 20th and yet they are reviewing my account
Slightly different. The first review was ended within a couple days which isn't normal, they do take longer, so it is likely Ebay never actually completed the review. Hopefully this one will be short, sweet and done in a couple of business days too.

I have been with ebay since 2004 and yeah I do know how it works. If I didn’t have access to the money how was I to use part of it for purchasing shipping. You are contradicting yourself.
That is an assumption that is absolutely not true. If you were to spend more time on the threads you would see countless posts my members that have contacted the call center for help and were given incorrect information. So what you are assuming is not necessarily true.
Easy, Ebay allows you as I previously described to ship your items using your MP funds or PP acct. Seller choice.
@eb24662 wrote:And I didn’t get the usual message buyer paid ship item! I cannot trust ebay with my money. Can you?
That message gets sent at the moment the buyer pays. And you can see it in your Seller Hub under Orders Paid and available to ship.

No one said that there wasn't sellers that didn't work for Ebay. What you were told was that if an Ebay employee posts to the threads, the post is well identified as being from an Ebay employee. The entire post is outlined in blue and the Ebay logo is prominent on the posting upper left corner.
You seem to think that anyone that see things differently than you do is an Ebay employee. Which of course is silly. But if you are only willing to accept advice and opinions that are exactly like yours, why in the world did you come here.

IRS will ask too. But they are a bit reasonable about the old stuff. So where you can, yes get invoices, receipts or some sort of proof where you bought it. Cancelled check, credit card stmt or whatever. But you will of course find that some you simply won't be able to come up with. You can only do the best you can do on this subject.
Ebay's goal is to be able to authenticate that the brand name stuff you are selling is what you say it is. This is a big thing on Ebay's radar right now as they get in all kinds of trouble for fake stuff being sold on the site.
It is your right to make that decision, but is it really in your best interest to do that or is it your anger talking? Don't cost yourself money just because you are mad at Ebay. Contact the Payment team and find out why this is happening and then address the issue that is causing it to prevent it from happening again.
