Daily payouts not working...

[cobra_viper]

Ever since payouts first began, I have received them daily at approximately 5:00 am every morning.  It's been this way for years now with no problems.  My last payout was on January 10th...and there are no issues with my account that would prevent me from receiving my daily payouts.

Yesterday I did not receive my daily payout.  I checked my account in the morning and there was money available to be paid out (not processing money)...but the payout never went through.  

Today, same thing...5:00 am came and went and, again, no payout...

Is anyone else not receiving their daily payouts?

@cobra_viper   I had the same issue this weekend and called Customer Support yesterday.  eBay is changing how weekend bank transfers are working now, and they are phasing it in so not all sellers are seeing this yet.  Unfortunately, they have blind-sided everyone by not giving advanced warning this will happen.  You should be seeing a blue bar near the top of your Payments screen that will bring you to the Help page describing how weekend transfers will work.  Money in available funds for Thursday and Friday sales will no longer to transferred to your bank until Monday morning (instead of Saturday and Sunday as before), which for me means I will not have it in my bank account until Tuesday morning.  You should also see a new Request Payout button next to Available Funds where you can pay a $2 fee to immediately transfer money to your debit card.

eBay should have handled communication on this A LOT BETTER!

There was a notice on this a couple weeks ago.

They are processing daily payouts differently and I think it stated that there will not be Saturday and Sunday payments.

I didnt pay it much attention because I dont do daily payouts but I did see the notice.

I don’t understand why sellers need to be paid daily. When I started selling this started and I was concerned my bank would flag me for excessive activity. I changed it to weekly and my transfer happens every Tuesday morning. That works just fine for me.

It was part of eBay promise on how they would handle the transfer from PayPal to managed payments. I used to just leave my proceeds in my PayPal account and use the PP debit card. I took don't necessarily need the daily payouts, however different person's may have different needs.

Thanks everyone!  I appreciate the help!

I called them this morning and I guess there will be no more payouts on Saturday and Sunday for those that do daily payouts. Though they do offer the option to do express payouts for $2, which is to their benefit as always.

For those of you that do not understand why some of us like to get paid daily is because we are running full fledged businesses with operating costs vs. those that are just pulling items out of a closet to sell as a hobby. Having your money available at all times is key. Your account would not get flagged for excessive daily payouts, we have been doing this for many years on the daily payouts and do not get flagged.

Every time I scan this board, I read your title as "Daily workouts not working..."  😐

Sorry, I know this wasn't helpful.

Those of us who own brick and mortar stores wait to get paid if we accept credit cards. Is that not running a "full fledged business"? The full fledge businesses we have known have operating capital and do not need daily payouts.

This is confusing to some based on how eBay is making this change.

I've known about it for a bit since our primary account lost daily payout on weekends a few weeks ago.

My smaller accounts still get payouts on the weekend. Got one today and yesterday.

I do believe eBay needs to be a bit less stealthy about such changes.

I got the banner today, and the previously scheduled payout was delayed.

The reason some of us have daily payout is because that is normal, and the case for sellers who have merchant accounts for credit card processing. There is no real downside to having daily payout, and it adds a little to the interest paid on my checking account.

My daily payout came through this morning.  Life is good again.  🙂

Thanks again, everyone, for the help with this.

OK, so they no longer do payouts on Saturdays and Sundays. It would’ve been nice to see something about that which I never did. But can someone please explain to me why things that sold yesterday 1/19 show as still “processing” (and not “available”) as of 8:30pm today 1/20?  It use to be funds from items sold would go from processing to available 24hrs later. Now because of seller fees and promotion fees my “available” is a NEGATIVE $150 and my in “processing” is $780 (35 items split pretty equally with dates “to be completed” of 1/20 and 1/21)

Today's delay may have something to do with it being a holiday.
