@sweetmagnolia_26 How are shipping such large items with Free Shipping? You will be losing $$.

If you are drop shipping that is not allowed unless you own the merchandise that is stored in a warehouse.

Have you uploaded tracking to the sold items? Does it show delivery to the buyer?

As a fellow seller I understand that waiting for your payout is frustrating.

Fund holds are normal for new and returning sellers.

New or infrequent sellers will experience transaction holds of up to 31 days while learning best selling practices. This helps sellers become established and build a strong selling history on eBay.
