Resolving eBay Shipping Conflicts
Summary: dunston73 shared an issue about delayed funds from an eBay sale due to a mismatch in shipping confirmation expectations; eBay required proof of delivery from a different courier. papso22 and **peaseblossom** mentioned that the payment will eventually be released despite the current hold, while john1297576 suggested that sellers with a strong sales history can receive payments faster. The discussion focuses on managing shipping discrepancies and effective communication with the platform.
I recently encountered an issue where I sold a pair of boots on eBay, but I'm unable to access the funds. It seems the problem arose because I shipped the item via Royal Mail, but eBay is expecting a delivery confirmation from Evri. As a result, there's no confirmation that the boots have been delivered.
Has anyone else faced a similar situation with eBay or other selling platforms? How did you resolve the issue, and what steps would you recommend to avoid similar problems in the future? What are your experiences with managing shipping discrepancies, and how have you communicated effectively with the platform or buyer to resolve such issues?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and advice!

Private sellers with a strong sales history will receive their funds typically within 24 hours after the buyer pays. For more information, read our Getting paid for items you've sold page.
