Payment Delays | Payments

It would appear that I’m not the only one experiencing payment delays at the moment. Previously, funds were appearing on my account just after the item was delivered. However, I have just had a sale where the item was delivered and the buyer had left positive feedback but days later and my balance had not been updated with the funds from the sale. When I went into payment details, the transaction status indicated that I still had to post the item, which was clearly incorrect.Having then contacted eBay, I had a series of strange conversations ranging from not knowing why this had occurred and agreeing that the funds should have cleared, to the last conversation that indicated that the funds wouldn’t be available until a week after the item was delivered and this was due to their new payment policy introduced last August. I was more confused after these conversations than I was before as there is no indication of this on the payment details, no mention of funds on hold and certainly no mention of an expected date for the funds to reach my balance.I’m still convinced in my case that this is due to the order details saying it’s been delivered and the payment details saying that the item still needs posting. eBay didn’t seem interested though in fixing this issue and just kept saying that it was due to their new payment policy.
