How do we get eBay to change back?
I’m ready to grab my torch and pitch fork.
I will admit it’s my own fault for not being more prepared because I didn’t realize it would be this bad. Because there is as far I can see nothing that I as a seller can do to help speed up the funds release.
It’s ridiculous, surely I’m missing something because how can there be nothing at all in regards to raising a dispute to get the money from delivered but unmarked orders.
I have had to go on time away and pause sales, because the money is just piling up and not being released.
Not until the 20th onwards, despite one of the items having already been delivered and the buyer has left feedback about it. It’s been over two days but since it wasn’t marked as delivered. No payment still.
In hindsight. I have now changed all my listings to tracked 24 but I doubt it’ll make much difference but it’s worth a try because the old standard posting clearly is a no go now.
Look here is the thing, I don’t mind having to wait, it’s more the principal of the thing.
Funds are in jail until the jailer unlocks the cell. That’s what it going to be from now on. Right?
My main question here is that I just want to know if there is someway for me to dispute the payment hold ? Based on delivery but unmarked as such. I’ve got the feedback to prove it has been delivered as the buyer left it upon delivery but I know eBay ignore that.
I just feel so lost and isolated now that eBay are essentially treating us private sellers as untrustworthy pieces of dirt.

Now two have been delivered. But unmarked as such.
One was delivered yesterday, I’ve just found out because of positive feedback, and the tracking for both orders on eBay isn’t in sync with the Royal Mail tracking.
Cause on the Royal Mail website they have both been marked as delivered but not on the eBay side.
So yeah this is most definitely the way forward isn’t it. This is such a brilliant unflawed idea they have enacted. What could possibly go wrong since it’s just so blooming marvellously perfect.

Now I have discovered that in actual fact 3 recent orders have been delivered. But unmarked as such.
Two were delivered yesterday. I’ve just found out because of positive feedback on one, and the tracking for both orders on eBay isn’t in sync with the Royal Mail tracking.

For one of them there is even a photo showing a Royal Mail postie putting the cd through the letter box. It’s so ridiculous that this is on the Royal Mail side of things but hasn’t been synced to eBay side yet.
Yet funds still on hold until the delivery confirmation is validated.
I can’t, I’m in hysterics over this and laughing like a maniac 😂😂😂
