Ebay is holding my listing
I was not allowed to list any item two days ago. The message ebay said the need to keep safety environment they are holding my listing. What should I do now? Wait until they lift the hold? Is there anyone been facing this before? How you sort out?

MentorSep 17, 2026 at 6:26 AMYou are a new seller have you registered for eBay's Managed Payments fully and correctly.
You may be prevented from listing an item, because you have not fully or correctly registered with eBay's Managed Payments.
You need to provide eBay with details of a bank account and have this account verified. The usual method here, is for eBay to send 2 micro deposits into that nominated bank account for you to receive, and confirm to eBay.
Once this is completed, you will be able to list items for sale, and receive payouts from those sales.
This will show you how to register for eBay's Managed Payments.

There are two transactions in my payout bank account, one is ebay deposit £0.01 and the other is ebay withdraw £0.01. I believe there is nothing wrong with registration of my account. Is there any reason ebay hold my listing?? Thank you for your help.

Mentor3 weeks agoThat one penny was the verification process and if you confirmed it back to eBay it can then take a few days maybe longer for eBay to be happy everything is correct with your account.
Initial payouts can be held sometimes for 30 days.
This is all normal, and yes other new sellers face the same holds.
