I am currently broke. While most of my adult life I'm not. I find myself in a tough financial situation due to some awful life events I won't go into. So I have decided to sell some items that I have collected and with this new payments management, I am finding myself growing even more frustrated with every transaction. I am aware that it takes longer at this point. But my lord, my last sell says it should be available on June 6th and it is not. I was not only relying on this payment for cigarettes and groceries. But I also need it to pay for shipping. So It's put me in a rough spot here and I'm sure I could learn to accept this. However when I went to comment on another post about the payment process. I found that it wanted me to correct all of my lower case I's. I thought it was strange but I thought ok and fixed the ones I could see at a glance and whoops. I missed one here with the tiny red line under. Oh no, another one. Now it says I am spamming the post and wont post my comment because it considers it spam. While the comment has never been posted. I had 3 cigarettes left and smoked 2 and a half while dealing with this **bleep**. I hope I wont have road rage after my drive downtown so I can stand on the corner and try to make some money. GOOD GRIEF!

While I hope things get better for you, payments are not processed on the week end, and you can withdraw enough from your pending funds to ship. You just have to switch the setting from "pay with PayPal" to "pay with pending payouts." This is located at the bottom of the shipping label window

So sorry about your current circumstances. I've been in MP since August, 2019... I experience a 4 business day wait for my proceeds to become my bank deposits. Using that example, I'd expect that your funds (for your 6/2 sale) will be 'Available' on Monday, 6/7 and will be your money on Tuesday, 6/8.
Good luck and hang tight. For what it's worth... it looks like you had a good buyer on 6/2; the funds will come.

I'm in a very similar circumstance. With Paypal I never really was in a place where I had to withdraw *right away*. Usually I waited until I had a decent sum of money. But it was nice knowing it would be there. But as long as you plan well around your set dates in MP, it will work out most of the time (unfortunately, I got bit for using "pending payouts" for shipping last week). Like was said, "pending payouts" will work for your shipping most of the time, and the money will come available eventually. Like has been said in many of the other threads, it'll take a lot more patience than most people are used to having to handle MP.
