Someone said that they had spoken to CS about this and was told that if an item is sold for under £10 then sellers have to wait  until they get positive feed back before funds are released .So as I don't get regular feed back from buyers I will be struggling to make money .At the moment I am having to ask my partner for financial help so that I can post parcels ,which I have never had to do before ,but sales are so poor .I have bills to pay and food to buy  and I am sure there are many like me trying to make things balance  but it is certainly causing a lot of stress

That is correct at the end of February, feedback left for items under the value of £10 will release a payout sooner.

This was eBay's announcement:

We’ve also heard your feedback and understand that shipping costs are particularly top of mind for low price items. When you’re selling a single item for £10 or less, and it’s sent untracked, funds will now be available 24 hours after you receive positive buyer feedback. This will be live by the end of February.

Yep,  I know,  most buyers do not leave feedback, and I would never usually recommend this,  but sending the buyer a polite message,  asking if they would kindly leave some feedback, explaining with eBay's new rules, payouts from sales are not released until a buyer leaves feedback.

I would recommend only asking the once, any more and it could look like harassment.

I think with an explanation,  most buyers would leave some.
