Permanently suspended - funds on hold

[sleeker.f8]

My account has been suspended, with all products delivered, yet all of my funds are on hold (around £500) 

I spoke to eBay, and I was told I'd have to wait '170 days or more' to receive my funds. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you get your funds eventually? And does anyone have any advice on how to tackle this situation?

Thank you in advance

I asked here some time ago how long it would take until I could get my
money back from eBay after my account was restricted. At that time, I was
told it could even take up to 14 months.

For reference, here’s what eBay support explained to me:
The system checks the account every 7 days once certain conditions are met:

-

*60 days after the restriction date*
-

*30 days after the last claim closure date*
-

*30 days after the last estimated or actual delivery date of the last
transaction*

In my case, the latest date applied, which was *August 9, 2025*.

Finally, after almost *4 months*, today (August 19) I received my payout.
The funds were on hold since May. Please note that eBay also deducted a fee
of approximately *€66* from the released amount of *€7,190*.
