Payout hold and did nothing wrong
Summary: bamagirl3388 expressed frustration about eBay holding their funds for 15 days due to reduced selling activity, which they attribute to personal issues. They feel unfairly treated, citing their long-standing reliability and transparent selling practices. dbmm-media mentioned similar experiences for new and occasional sellers. janet9988 pointed out that the hold policy was part of the agreement, but bamagirl3388 reiterated their consistent selling history and dissatisfaction with eBay's recent changes.
Ive recently slowed down selling on Ebay because ive had personal issues and been busy. So since ive slacked up they think its in my best interest to hold my funds for 15 days. Its not in my best interest at all...I have a grandson that comes over after school and he likes to eat so its not in his best interest either. Ive done nothing to give them reason to not trust me ever. I pkg and ship with care and Im very truthful about condition of items. Its just because since im not as frequent of a seller as I was, its now in my best interest to wait for my money. And they didnt wait 15 days to get their promotion or postage or final sale fees. They just like me so much that they are looking out for my well being. If I was a terrible seller, I could understand. Im not, I feel like im being punished for doing the right thing. If this is how Ebay wants to run their company, then fine but I dont have to be a seller on this greedy platform anymore. Always new fees and now you want to put my funds I did make on hold. Im pretty much done, and I know Ebay does not care.

OP1 week agoReally ? Well I already know what i agreed to because I agreed to it. I guess next you will tell me im an infrequent seller and infrequent sellers have their payments put on hold. Like I havent been told that 500 times in the past week. Ive been an infrequent seller the whole time ive been on ebay, 5 years I think. Ebay never held my money because I never gave them a reason to. Its been the last 2 sales. Im sure if they started treating you this way, you wouldnt like it. Im guessing you are a frequent seller though and have no idea where im coming from.

·1 week agoI am a more infrequent seller than YOU and I am used to my payments being held more times than you. So YOU are luckier than me if this is the FIRST time your precious payments have been held.

OP1 week agoDo you know how many times ive been told that in the last week? Im not a new seller and ive always been an infrequent seller. I didnt change, ebay changed and its not right. I dont complain, I dont take up for myself and most of the time I just take it and get run over. I came here to raise this issue and see if it was happening to other people.
