I've been an active and loyal seller on ebay for 24 years but over the last few years the stress is becoming unbearable, recent sales of over 70 items (€800) remain unpaid by ebay. I am 73 and floundering after investing close to a thousand euros without being paid. Sales are so low now, its hardly worth the pain. Some sales I have even apologetically started to refund knowing that I may have to wait months for payment.
I 'm a global top rated seller, but it seems a couple of INR's (both later delivered) put me in the dog house. Items showing as delivered are still not paid, don't think I can take much more and can't opt out as I am owed so much.
Our dear old ebay in now unrecognizable and punitive to excess.

these are the UK boards and you are in Portugal, best log into your designated site - https://pt.ebay.com/

You have beautiful, beautiful plants for sale, I'd be buying from you, but doubt they'd survive / enjoy the journey from Portugal.
I'm certainly not going to preach or advise a person of your age ( though I'm not far behind! 🤗 ) but personally, if my health was being subjected to high stress from selling online, I would decide on some different venture, definitely not worth the worry and stress.
Any hold on payouts, I cannot explain , as I am a member like yourself, and have no access to your account.
If you wish this information you'll need to first log out of this site, log into your homesite - https://pt.ebay.com/ or to www.ebay.com and contact eBay Customer Services here:
