Complaint about funds on hold

I am writing to dispute the “funds on hold” policy that nobody wants.

Item delivered and positive feedback received, then still have to wait TWO DAYS.

I thought we lived in the instant digital age?

This means I have to front the postage cost, because I cannot print labels at home.
Chicken and egg situation:

- Can’t post latest order because am still waiting for payment from the previous sale.

- Dare not list more items for sale, until this backlog is gone.

On another sale it took me 7 days to get paid, even though the buyer paid immediately, and I shipped it the same day.

Essentially now I have to save up, to be able to sell something.

This is counter productive. I thought the USA was supposed to be ultra capitalist, yet this policy is corporate communism.

Just think of all the interest Ebay is accruing by needlessly sitting on all this money.

Hope the fat cats at the top are proud of this greedy overreaching policy that’s gumming up the sales/shipping process.
