How could my account be out on hold with no notice, and I’m told I’ve done nothing wrong?  I am a father of six beautiful children.  My wife stays at home with my six month old son.  I am the only one working and this is my job.  I buy and sell inventory and service hardware for repairs.  I work very hard for my family, as well as ensuring buyers have a good experience.  How does a corporation hold up a family’s well being for up to 21 days, after I’ve waited 28 on a payout already?  Who’s going to feed my children?  Who’s going to pay my mortgage?  My health insurance?  Who?  How dare they just take my money that I worked for?  They are already making $200-$1000 on every one of my sales, and EBay doesn’t have the common courtesy to notify me that my account is being locked up, while they do a review?  Because of me selling more?  What is the goal of every business?  To do more than what they did yesterday?  I believe it is.  My growth has been steadily building since I began to sell in September.  I had a great week this week in terms of volume.  Not much profit here after 12.55%.  Sellers are forced into price gouging and the only ones making great profit…well it’s not the people.  It’s the big business.  They value buyers and sellers.  I don’t believe what I read.  I believe what I see and confirm through behavior and actions.  Anyone know what I’m believing?  This is an absolute disgrace. Did they ask me if I as going to need that $3860 before they locked it up?  Did they know I’m leaving the country to work, and now have no money.  I’ve had to pay for flights, a place to stay.  What will I eat?  Do they care ladies and gentlemen.  I believe we all know that answer.  Enjoy your day.  I’m going to figure out what I’m going to do to ensure my family eats, and the bill collectors don’t destroy my credit while EBay does a friendly review over zero bad feedback reports.  They just can’t believe I had a good week on here.  Lock my life up.  They did!  Come look at my children and tell them what you just did to their father.  You ask them what they want to eat when they tell you they’re hungry.  Absolutely heartless and shameful.  It’s beyond, beyond me.  This is damage to my life and well being.  Let me wait for an answer after I was told by help that I’ve done nothing wrong.  Locked up for nothing.  Don’t let it happen to you.  You can very easily be me.  Remember that.

How is this possible?

Out of the 10 listings you have sold to date, 9 of them were for items $1000 or more.  In those cases, ebay will hold payment for up to 21 days, so the payment will be available in case there is a problem and a refund has to be made.
