EBay it’s the end for private sellers.

[baddie74]

Well finally after changing the format of their selling platform it seems every couple of weeks you have come up with the ultimate level of stupidity with this latest total ridiculous set of changes. Nobody is going to wait what could be weeks to be paid for a item they have sold who ever dreamt up this idea much be so far from reality as needing to push every part time seller off the site. I knew when they came up with the idea of free selling it wouldn’t be long before the idiots that run eBay came up with totally and ridiculous idea to claw back the money they have lost the whole senior management team at EBay must seat round a table all wearing clown costumes saying what is the most stupid idea we can come with to really get rid of half of our customers and the biggest clown wins with this idea and all the other yes people follow. Well I had started selling a few bits again but never again and will not be using EBay again to sell anything it has become a total joke of a company I hope your poor and flawed decisions finally catch up with this once great place to buy and sell has become a total joke.

Thank you.

My balance £400. The bottom line is their making interest of the money in
their accounts. It's in eBays share holders interest to retain money as
long as possible. After 2 weeks they can't justify holding it as the buyer
hasn't opened any claim. Yes they know it's delivered & buyers happy but
the whole point is to make money from your funds.
eBay's turning off & on links between couriers & delivery status in eBay
and that's why myself & other sellers are seeing tracked deliveries not
registering as delivered on eBay. eBay has to release funds 48 hrs after
delivery so obviously the more items that appear undelivered the more money
they make.

eBay charges 28% to my friend, promotion at 13% + the fee's.

28%.

Just to sell something, 28%.

Despite he was even with  their program - the Pro Trader Programme 2 years ago.

I contacted ebay support to ask them to release the funds of the items which have clearly been delivered now and they ended up releasing the funds for an item which has not been delivered yet, and left the ones which had feedback received.

you can't write it.

& Now For Something Completely Different ...

[kath3735_wxmjn]

once again you are here with your fairy tale nonsense about tracking being switched off.   You really need to find another conspiracy theory to propound as this one is getting old!

I knew I was on the right track with the whip thing ...

Yes the whole thing is fine tuned with the sole intention of making huge
amounts of money.

We all appreciate eBay itself is a buisness but they are acting without
honesty or transparency with the sole intention of deceiving both seller &
buyer to line their own pockets.

It will backfire as no company can carry out this carefully scripted form
of dishonest money making without being clocked by FCA & other worldwide
financial institutions. This isn't the the end of fees, it's the beginning
of the end of eBay.

[buffster1963]

How ironic that you accuse them of acting without honesty or transparency. 

[sunshinedior67]

Strange your account has no selling or buying activity. Clearly your a eBay
minion.

And once again you're here attempting to discredit thousands of sellers
without adding anything to support yourself. Clock off

[sunshinedior67]

Wow!!! All I'll say is feedback makes interesting reading and you can tell
who knows what their talking about by reading their responses to negative
feedback.🤣🤣

[sunshinedior67]

🥱🥱

[loftclearout74]

i've just raised a complaint about this releasing funds matter, its crazy, so requested a callback and they rang me , i said i've got £220 in holding and the majority has been delivered and feedback has been received, they said we don't work on feedback , we work on tracking, i said ok so check tracking, our tracking system is not working correctly,  omg , they're a joke.

even vinted instantly release the funds when the buyer leaves feedback and says the item is ok

"Strange your account has no selling or buying activity. Clearly your a eBay

minion."

Users are allowed more than 1 account on eBay. 

Many businesses also have private accounts and many of those also keep accounts specifically for posting, lest their main accounts become targets for harassment that stem from here.

Lots of people know this, sounds like you don't.

[sunshinedior67]

They've turned off the delivery link between couriers & eBay intentionally
on accounts making them the most money holding funds. Literally all my
deliveries before the 04/02 would register delivered now I have 20 saying
dispatched awaiting delivery tailing back from 04/02. I knew this was their
plan as soon as I read the new delivery rules. I said right back then watch
the increase in unmarked deliveries on eBay as they now hold funds making
interest.
We aren't stupid eBay. Isn't it funny how eBay's links never break when
taking buyers money.

If you buy the postage via ebay, if no available total the payment is taken from the pending, so you don't have to be out of pocket - if you have available funds are there they take it from that, which really confused me at first, as I thought they always took it from the pending money from the sale I was buying postage for...
