ebay payment hold for 170 days ?

Can you believe I waited 60 days for my payout, only for eBay to slap another 170-day hold on my account?

 

Here's what happened:

 

I canceled about 3 orders, and ebay consider them as "out of stock" even though I didn’t say that. A month later, I got a BBE restriction for that canceled orders, and payments were held for 30 days.

 

After waiting 30 days, I received another MC011 restriction toke me 30days trying to fix it, at the end led to a permanent restriction with a 170-day hold for a reason to resolve buyer claims—despite having no open cases or claims.!!!!!!

 

It's now been 90 days, and only 30 days have passed from the new 170-day hold.

- there is no open case or charge back or any kind of claims before that first 60 days of hold.
- no one will ask for return or item not received after 90 days.
- also there is no policy of 170 days in ebay.

 

Has anyone else dealt with these absurd rules and managed to resolve it? can any one help ?

Regards

Ah. but you are wrong saying no one will ask for return after 90 days. It depends how they paid. PayPal allows 180 days to file a claim. Most card payments allow 90 days and some allow 6 months and one card I know of allows a year to dispute a claim.

 

I suppose eBay wants to make sure the claims made by 180 days are coming out of your pocket and not theirs.

If they don't pay after 3 days you report they have not paid.

If you cancel a transaction the buyer didn't  ask to cancel then eBay thinks you're  the maggot piece of ,,,,,,,!

rules are rules, you canceling the order rather than letting the system take the steps in order to cover yourself is how things like this happen.

if a person does not pay you file a non-payment case with ebay and let it do it's thing, after a set amount of time it closes automatically and you have no bad marks. you canceling the order yourself leaves a bad mark.

the work around for this is to simply require payment at time of purchase. this completely eradicates non payment issues.

What reason did you choose when you canceled those orders?

Oh my I just having this happen to me and it’s a blessing because you cannot make up things as you go along in a contract and if it’s not in policy that’s a fat lawsuit…so if my funds are not released in a timely manner these idiots getting sued for sure simple! Because it’s not in the policy…

Re: ebay payment hold for 170 days ?

it is in the policy, you just have to read thru it and understand that you agreed to it already. It clearly states holds of up to 180 days, but technically they can hold it longer, they can also require a reserve amount to cover any potential fraud or misuse that can range from 10%, $5000, or whatever amount they decide on, lots of legal language in the "agreement" you signed already.

my suggestion to gain a better understanding is to read the "terms of use" it is quite long.
your options legally are pretty limited, best of luck
