DOES EBAY HOLD ANYONE ELSE'S FUNDS AS A LOAN? | Payments

Iâ€™ve been selling on eBay for over 6 years, and Iâ€™ve never been this frustrated. eBay has been holding my funds for almost a month now, with no clear explanation other than vague â€œtrust and safetyâ€ reviews. They keep asking me for proof of delivery on orders I already refunded, or on items that were already confirmed delivered (I even provided UPS tracking links). Instead of checking, support just keeps giving me copy-paste responses and running me in circles. Meanwhile, they want me to basically â€œloanâ€ them thousands of dollars by reshipping items at my own expense while they sit on my money. Theyâ€™re making fees off every transaction while I get nothing.This isnâ€™t about â€œbuyer safetyâ€ anymore â€“ it feels like eBay is just using sellersâ€™ cash flow for themselves.Has anyone else gone through this? How did you actually get eBay to release your money?
