Holding payouts
I sell larger ticket items on eBay. Most of what we do is 8500.00 to 20,000. and it has been that way from the beginning some 24 years ago.
About 6 months ago eBay started holding our payouts and keeping them long after the item was tracked and delivered. My phone conversations are a complete waste of time. One day the reason is because "the transaction a higher than average amount" or "it's just a random thing - not my company singled out".
Whatever the reason is, it's complete **bleep**.
I have been selling on eBay now, as I said, 24 years and have done over 3 million dollars worth of business. You would think that by now that might mean something to them. I'm not going to start scamming now.
I find it insulting and I'm sick of it to the point that I'm almost done.

OP2 years agoThank you for your response.
That answer makes sense and is something I can understand.
After 5 or so calls to eBay for an explanation, I was told that it was just a random thing or the sale amount was higher than normal which I knew was not the case, I now know why and I'm fine with it.
I have always applauded everything eBay tries to do in order to hold back the scammers.
I just needed to understand it
