New Ebay policy is suicidal. Do they want us all to migrate elsewhere? Again, buyers prioritised...

As an Ebayer since 2000, I am well used to being treated as second class in comparison to my customers. Only two months ago, Ebay found in favour of an American customer who didn't go to his post office to collect his item even though I had supplied him with a tracking number, costing me £82.00. Now we are expected to wait 2 days - maybe longer! - after our items are delivered to get our funds. How is that meant to work and how is it even fair? How will Ebay monitor when the items are delivered, will they rely on the 'honesty' and diligence of the buyer to actually tell Ebay they've received the item? 

If this goes ahead, I will leave Ebay for good. Anyone else *bleep* off about this?

This part of the forum is for questions about Ebay, rather than discussions.

There are lots of posts about this in selling - you could read some of the discussions there or start your own thread.

However, after so many years on Ebay, you should perhaps know that there is no mechanism for a buyer to mark an item as received.

As it says in the email, you will be able to access your payment 2 days after tracking shows delivery, or 14 days after posting if there is no tracking or the tracking is never updated.
