Ebay is robbing me.

Ebay is requiring I send them proof of items I sold which have already been delivered to the buyer. I don't keep receipts of the items I sell cuz some of them were gifted to me for the holidays and some I just lost the receipt for. They're illegally holding $2k of my money. Am I screwed? Can they legally rob me of my $2000? I need help

You will need to provide the information requested.

All new sellers have requirements to meet before being paid. That you are new and selling expensive items has caused your account to have more scrutiny.

@kylstore_11 

 

Because you have recently started selling again, eBay considers you as a new seller.  This means that your money will be put on hold for usually 30 days or less...until the item arrives and eBay feels that the buyer(s) have gotten their items as described.

 

As you continue to sell here (again), those restrictions will go away.  The key thing to do is to keep your selling acct active by selling a few things every month to maintain your selling acct so that it does not fall into that dormant phase causing your acct to be treated as a new (selling) acct.

 

Things should go okay...I see that you have already gotten glowing feedback for two of your recent high dollar sales.  I really think that you will be cleared and things should improve - just keep your selling acct active - no less than a 90 pause between selling.  Frankly I would not go past 60 and personally I do not go past 30 days.

 

Good luck.

Reading is fundamental **bleep**. I haven't sold in over a year. SOME of the items I sold recently were gifts. The others were not. Please show me where I said I ONLY sell items gifted to me, I'll wait.

I've gone 90+ days twice this year.  Hasn't affected my receipt of payments.

I agree with @fab_finds4u .

Ebay is being cautious due to recent high dollar, high tech dishonesty on the site.

If you follow through and your buyers are happy,  you will get paid.

You have been here before, that's great! But... Something off...
