Ebay held the payment to me (through PayPal) as I have not sold an item lately. The entire time my item status has been 'buyer has not paid'. I shipped the item anyway per recommendation of Ebay contact; the buyer received the item; Ebay released my payment 20 hours ago but status is still 'buyer not paid'. All transactions have been manual as I have not been getting the prompts for the next step. We also got an email from Ebay telling us we had to open a commercial Ebay account (we rarely sell). I am very dissatisfied with all of this and will most likely be cancelling my account. Not worth the hassle.

Hello, if your funds were released upon delivery of the item, then it follows that you have been paid. It may be some glitch. Where are you seeing the Not Paid notice, on eBay or PayPal or email? Remember to always check for rendered payment directly by going into PayPal (not thru a link) to verify the funds are there.
Selling on eBay is not for everyone. There are a lot of hoop jumping activities a seller must do.

"We also got an email from Ebay telling us we had to open a commercial Ebay account (we rarely sell)."
Why? Why would ebay say you have to open a commercial account? For what?
"Ebay released my payment 20 hours ago but status is still 'buyer not paid'."
But the buyer did pay and the payment was/is in your paypal account, right?
