Balance not showing

I sold an item that was confirmed delivered tracked 48 two calendar days ago. On the transaction report it states funds are in my balance but they are not. Tried automated customer service but didn't get far as they kept repeating the new policy. Can anyone tell me if they're having the same issues?

Have you received the payment on your items? I have the same problem now with eBay

Your payments WILL catch up (especially if you don't use Ebay labels!!) eventually, but basically you have to wait for a break in sales (and therefore seller expenses). Atm I have a positive balance because I sold a load of stuff but haven't made any sales for a few weeks. 

 

Basically they're using your unpaid monies to fund your postage costs (if you use Ebay labels). This can be especially galling if you use untracked mail services, and then your buyers do not mark their items as received. It will take at least two weeks for your payout-- and that's if you haven't already spent the money on postage labels for your most recent sales.

If you look at your payments breakdown, you will see that you've probably already spent this supposed payout on postage labels. Basically they charge your money that's already been released to pay for postage on items whose monies haven't been released yet! 

 

It's kinda a ridiculous system that allows them to hoard our cash for longer- under the guise of 'buyer protection' ofc  😉
