All my payouts hit my bank in two business days it seems. Seems there is a day of processing and then it's transferred. I could swear this happens no matter how fast I ship the items but I shipped fast so I'm not 100% sure because I haven't sold a batch of stuff until starting recently. The payout is definitely not tied to confirmed delivery. It seems like it's tied to only receiving payment.
I noticed that several of my paid auctions that ended about 7PM (Pacific) at 11PM it says funds are on hold but there's no specific reason. This could be that I just never checked right after an auction as there's been no disputes or anything on my account or changes in categories I sell in, or sudden major increase in sales to trigger any sort of extended hold.
On a sidenote, I don't think it's wise from a customer service standpoint to generate label well in advance of handoff to the shipping company as you can get anxious customers that are alarmed when they check tracking to see there is no tracking information (yet).
I'm curious if you generate the shipping labels before midnight the same day as receiving payment, does that make any difference in payout time by starting the processing sooner? Or is it just because payments were received after a certain daily cutoff time for processing to begin next day instead that same day?
