Thought I'd post this just in case anyone else is going through the same thing.
This all started happening as of 10-12-22. This all seemed to start when they requested me to verify my identity (after being active on eBay for over 18 years). So I completed the verification and also requested a callback to verify that everything was fine. Soon after the callback, the rep at ebay verified that everything was fine and the red and black box that popped up in my payments page is now gone. But now, the options to request a payout is grayed out and it won't provide a date for any future payouts. Just got off the phone with a guy from eBay's leadership team and he stated that this is happening because ebay is now processing their own payments and apparently has new regulations which require more verification. He stated that most seller accounts need to go through this process and although my account has been verified and everything is fine, it is now going to take up to 5 business days for another internal team to finalize the review. I know, it doesn't make sense to me either. Seems like ebay has the most backward processes ever and instead of evolving, they don't. Anyhow, thought I'd share this info with you all in case you're going through the same thing.

Just happen to me on the 10th, took them 3 days to release my funds, I called every day. 1st it was 24hrs, then 48hrs but after 72 hrs they cleared. Told me I had until Nov. 9th to upload info but had free time and did it right away. That was a mistake, should have waited til end of week so I got my money from the holiday weekend.

I had a good amount of funds available at the time I got the "Verify" email so I hurry and requested the payout only because I've always had issues with anything related to payouts on eBay and after I cleared out my account, I submitted my drivers license and now I am just waiting for this to clear up. The supervisor at ebay told me that it can take up to 5 business days but may be sooner to clear. So I guess we will see.

If I had known I would have wanted til end of week. I doubt that it helped but did tell ebay rep they should included notice of a payment freeze with their email.
