https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support/When-to-release-collection-QR-code/m-p/7936975#M318486 <P>Help please - I am buying a trailer for collection - received collection QR code from ebay. Seller says he won't release item until money is in his account. How long does it take ebay to move funds from pending to his account? I don't want to drive all the way over to collect the trailer, give him the QR code and it then takes hours or days for ebay to process it? If I give him the QR code before collection,&nbsp; am I then exposed if he is a scammer and address given does not exist or he does not hand over the item, or do ebay protect me if this were to happen?</P> Fri, 03 Oct 2025 11:31:15 GMT hamishsh 2025-10-03T11:31:15Z
