Microdeposits? Why?

Question

I got a message from EB that they deposited microdeposits to my bank account. And sure enough there are two payments. I'm supposed to verify the payments, but there's nowhere in my seller hub to verify it. I followed the instructions and can't find what they want me to do. Where do I go from here? Because trying to call customer service is a non-started, CS sucks at EB. And there's no way to email them or what with them. Why are they sending me microdeposits?

It's a little hard to understand what to do....somewhat misleading.

I believe eBay deposits micro deposits and eBay then takes them away on there own where there is nothing for you to do...maybe on Monday.

That's my thought process from the past unless it's changed.

eBay wants to make sure they can take funds that need to be paid that you did not pay on up...like monthly dues...refunds...shipping labels and such.

This is why I have 2 different debit cards with 2 different banks...one for eBay business and one for purchases of food and gas as such.

In the image you posted theres a button that says "verify deposit amounts" .

Did you click that?
There should also be a banner in your seller hub might say something like" verify or update your account".
Those micro deposits are so eBay can verify your checking account so you can get your payouts for items sold.
