Don't Understand

[jnixon6488]

Hi,

I'm a new seller. I made my first 2 sales in one day.  I do understand it says payment on hold until some x days after delivery. Well I just checked and one of the packages I sent was delivered today . In the Payments section it says this and I don't understand it. 

- Your total funds

$52.09

Available funds

-$13.35

On Hold

$65.44

I mean why the minus $13.35 ?

and then something like available funds owed to you whether you get paid them or not.

really? I'm only asking because this is my first sale . If someone would be kind enough to explain you'd be awesome. 🙂

Unless there's been a recent change, new sellers may have their funds held for 30 days, regardless of the delivery status of the item.

Most new sellers have a 30 day hold.

Please read about payment holds.

Also would be a good time to read the eBay MBG for buyers, just so as a seller you know what can happen.

The -13.35 could be for the shipping label you bought?

[worldcoinauctions]

If you paid for shipping on ebay that is probably your negative funds, but yes, expect to have 30 day holds on your funds for a while. If you are selling a lot and shipping promptly that will decrease, eventually go away.

Ebay is not a place to make money in a hurry, treat it as a business, read all the rules and make a business plan!

Ebay makes enough money available so you can purchase the shipping label(s) to send your items.

Just to add to the stellar replies above;

Here's the policy on payment holds; https://www.ebay.com/help/selling/getting-paid/getting-paid-items-youve-sold/pending-payments?id=481...

$52.09

This amount is the "Net After Fees" that you earned from your 2 Sales. Click the icon to the right to see what it consists of

Available funds

-$13.35

This appears to be what you paid for labels and/or Promoted Fees that is being deducted from your Net (On Hold) amount below. Click the icon to see more detail.

On Hold

$65.44

This is the TOTAL Amount of your 2 Sales. Again, you can click the arrow/icon to see detals.

I mean why the minus $13.35 ?

That amount will be deducted to pay for your labels and/or promoted fees prior to your "Payout". (It's like you used a credit card with your own funds) You can see the breakdowns by viewing your Transactions.
