SOMEONE PLEASE help me with the act that Ebay "processing" funds

[nuevoanoya]

It used to be that sellers had to wait on addresses to be confirmed or something to that effect but in today's world, technology, and the speed of the way things process using cc's, dc's etc. what is "processing" mean.  Are we all being duped?  Ebay has not one reason to hold money from us from sales due to "processing" what does that mean?  Is it not a term that Ebay came up with to basically call it "processing" when in reality there is no "processing" time to it.  I think they hold our money to make all that extra money in interest using our money, so where does that leave us?  Where is our piece of the sweet interest pie?????????  They charge fees to list items, to sell items, to ship items blah blah and they are getting billions and billions and not sharing it whatsoever with us sellers.  We can't catch a break and most of us are at the very margins already when it comes to making money.  I know I have been very, no extremely unlucky in selling items for the time I been selling which has only been like 3 months now.  How do I get people to buy my stuff???????? HELP ?????

You're making statements that aren't true. eBay isn't earning interest  on payments on hold or in the process of  of being paid out.

Your payment used to go to PayPal and then directly to you and PayPal waited on the funds to clear. Now it goes to Adyen to eBay and then to you and Adyen and eBay won't  pass it on until it clears in their accounts. Thus that takes a day or two.

None of what you saying makes sense or is true, eBay does not make interest off of our money & in fact they are not really the ones holding it, Ayden, the payment processor technically is. Even if you owned a brick & mortar store you would have to wait about 2-3 days or so until you can get a payout. That's how its always worked & will always be. Be patient & wait. If you can't wait then sell local and get your cash immediately.

It’s a small thing, but worth considering. 

For listings that have USPS as the carrier, you could offer shipping to PO Boxes. 
USPS PO Boxes are a locked box inside a secure building. It is really the best place to ship something. 
Many small communities don’t have a mail carrier, all mail goes to a PO Box. 

As you try to figure out ways to get more customers, this simple action could open you up to that.
