Understanding eBay Payment Holds on Experienced Sellers
Summary: hansf-64 is experiencing unexpected payment holds from eBay despite having a successful sales record and maintaining positive feedback. They feel frustrated by the lack of communication and are seeking insights from others who might have encountered the same issue. They are interested in discussing potential strategies to address these payment holds and are looking for advice from the community.
I've been successfully selling clothing on eBay with 87 orders amounting to over $21k this year alone, while maintaining 100% positive feedback. Despite this record, eBay recently began holding my payments until 7 days after delivery. This change came without warning, and has left me frustrated and confused. It seems counterintuitive for eBay to implement such holds on established accounts. Has anyone else had similar experiences? What insights can you share about the reasons behind these holds, and how did you address them? Let's discuss potential strategies for navigating this issue together. Your input would be invaluable!
