It is all these new rogue sellers selling items that they DON'T HAVE just to get hold of buyers money to get them instant money. They eventually refund when the item fails to arrive after a buyer opens a case, or  they wait a few days and then say to their buyer "sorry it's been damaged will now refund" This wastes people's time and gives eBay a bad name.  This is the only explanation for this rather      drastic change which many honourable sellers like myself are now caught up in.  😞 Basically these rogue sellers (who are clever scammers) have ruined it for everyone respectable who has been on eBay for years... Now we are all suffering as a result that eBay can no longer trust  any private seller regardless of their feedback and the time they have been on eBay as an "Above average seller" with no defects. <HR /></BLOCKQUOTE>Just quoting my last post... If this is really the case and the reason why we private sellers now can't be trusted by eBay ?... Wouldn't be more fairer if this held payment rule until after delivery was only enforced on all private sellers which have been on eBay for under 3 years and who have less then a 100 positive feedback's in score. And anyone who has 3 negatives or 3 eBay cases opened for items not received (or not as described )within a 12 month period eBay should then place their future payments on hold until a confirmed delivery (or 14 days after an unconfirmed delivery) until the 12 month period has expired and all the negative feedback (or case defects) have then gone off their account returning their feedback score back to a respectable 100% positive and "Above average seller" status again where they will then start again enjoying faster payments with no holds one more time.     Sun, 16 Feb 2025 11:31:26 GMT bittyboy101 2025-02-16T11:31:26Z
