Can't withdraw my funds. Why is Ebay not allowing me to withdraw my sales receipts?

I recently sold an item and Can't withdraw my funds. Why is Ebay not allowing me to withdraw my sales receipts?

The so called 'NEW ' process says there is a 'Withdraw' option in the sellers hub which we can opt for at any time to transmit funds to our bank accounts. . If there is, it is well hidden. i have spent over 2 hours trying every screen I can find and there is ABSOLUTELY NO WITHDRAW OPTION.  This suggests to me that Ebay are deliberately witholding funds.  Why ?

Same for me.  Grey withdrawal button.  And it's probably gonna cost me money by stopping me paying off a credit card bill.  😣

I have the same on my private account. I saw a brief line 'somewhere'* on ebay that said some ebayers are having difficulties with payouts and they are aware of it.

 

*'somewhere' being not anywhere I would expect to see it

I had the same, no funds give but earned since 18th June, finally got paid yesterday. Are you running promotions? This will impact hugely. eBay took £168.00 in promos from my earnings. I’ve now taken everything off of promo.
Good luck.

Re: Can't withdraw my funds. Why is Ebay not allowing me to withdraw my sales receipts?

I was having the issue that I could not find an option to transfer the funds in my eBay account to my bank account.  I was using Chrome.

 

I ended up using the eBay app that was pre-installed on my phone, and this did resolve the issue.  Just need to find out how I log out of the app!

 

Process of using the mobile app:

Tapping the "Selling" icon at the bottom of the mobile app took me to a screen showing my year-to-date total, and after getting rid of the "new to selling" message, I could see the "Payments" heading, with my eBay balance below and an amount with an arrow pointing to the right. 

Tapping the arrow took me to a new window, which a blue box showing my eBay balance, and another arrow. 

Tapping this arrow took me to a new window with the option to "Withdraw" at the bottom.

On my tablet in landscape mode, there is a button labelled with my name in the top left corner of the screen. It says “Hi L****!” It’s highlighted in blue and there’s a pull down arrow next to it.

The pull down arrow brings up “account settings”

Clicking on that brings up a page of links. On the left side menu, scrolling down, under the “Selling” list, is “Seller Account”

Same here - sold on ebay for years and have 2 seller accounts both of which ebay are with holding my monies.

They have over £500 of my balance but icon to 'withdraw' is no longer available on either account

its about time they got this sorted. you contact customer services and they are not interested,  ebay are failing in many ways and not getting anything sorted, there is no wonder people are leaving and selling on Vinted and facebook  and other platforms.

Re: Can't withdraw my funds. Why is Ebay not allowing me to withdraw my sales receipts?

eBay hold payments for a number of reasons; commonly:

 

Registration holds: We may hold payouts if we identify a discrepancy with the information you provided at registration. If your account is restricted, we'll notify you by email with a request for additional information.

 

Performance holds: We hold your payouts if we identify unusual activity associated with your account, such as increased customer claims, a sudden change in your selling activity, late deliveries, or negative buyer feedback

 

Invalid payment method: We may put your payouts on hold if we can't deduct your selling fees and other costs from any of your on-file payment methods. In this case, you’ll need to add another payment method.

 

Compliance holds: We maintain policies and procedures to protect buyers and sellers while complying with applicable laws. If your account has a payout hold or restriction for compliance reasons, we'll notify you by email and may request additional information from you.

 

The most recent compliance hold on laws is to meet eBay's due diligence requirements in collecting National Insurance Numbers.  "...... 'withdraw' is no longer available on either account" - suggests you have more than one eBay account; have you been asked to provide your NINO.  If so have you supplied it?  The requirement to report your sales is on a cumulative amount across accounts; not on individual accounts.

 

If you haven't been asked for your NINO or have already supplied it I would suggest that you contact eBay via a call-back between 8am and 9am when it is more likely to be responded to by an Irish customer service agent who are more familiar with the legal requirements of eBay UK members and will probably pursue your queries more effectively.

Some things to try that have worked in the past…

Clear your cache and cookies for eBay. Restart device.

Try a different browser.

Try the eBay App.

Re: Can't withdraw my funds. Why is Ebay not allowing me to withdraw my sales receipts?

There are two ways to use eBay, the website or the App. Most recent phones come with the eBay App already installed, or you can download it onto a device. You could use this just to withdraw your funds and use the website for everything else.

To clear your cache/cookies for a site, depends on the device you’re using and the specific browser you usually use. If you mention what these are, I can post links as to how to clear cache/cookies.

You can download any number of additional  browsers to try for specific issues you may have with your current browser. For example, I have an iPad and generally use Safari. However I also have Chrome, Firefox and Opera browsers ready to try if I have a problem on Safari.

Your browser will be named somewhere on your computer. Or you can use a website that checks for you.

  • Go to the website WhatIsMyBrowser.com.
  • The website will automatically detect and display the browser being used. 
     
2. Checking the browser's settings:
  • For most browsers: Look for three dots or lines (often on the top right of the browser window) that represent a menu.
  • Click the menu: Find and click on "Settings" or "Options".
  • Find "About": Look for an "About" section (often within the settings or under a "More" or "Advanced" section).
  • The "About" pagewill display the browser's name and version.
