Fees/Payout System/Balance

Hello everyone. I'm a bit confused at the moment. Until recently I have been getting my money from sales no problem, waiting 14 days for the money to hit my balance (which I hate, why did they change it?).

 

Everything was fine until a few days ago. I was given the date (April 23) when my money would hit my balance but nothing showed up. Spoke to Ebay, was reassured, two days later still no money. Then only today I was expecting another payout, nothing (not huge amounts, £14 in total for the two items, £7 each).  Instead I only had £2.38 in my balance.

 

Spoke to Ebay again, got passed through to someone with more knowledge of the situation (in the UK I think), and was told the first payout of £7 I already got and the rest has been eaten up with fees. The thing is, I really don't think I got the first £7 and I don't understand what fees have eaten up my £14 overall as it shows what fees are taken in your profile when the item is sold (in this case buyer protection fees, that's it).

 

So basically I feel like I haven't been paid for one item and only gotten a tiny amount for a second item. I have a few more items with payments to come over the next few weeks and now I'm concerned I'm not gonna get the right amounts that I'm shown in my account. I don't understand what's happened, everything was fine until about 3 days ago with this one item and now today with another.

 

Surely all fees are shown when an item sells and the final amount shown is what I should be getting? Also, why did Ebay make this change as its horrendous and was FAR better before (you got the money almost immediately and could transfer it to your bank whenever you were ready).

This is from website not App.

Click on My eBay and choose Selling

This will take you to Seller Hub.  There are a number of options near top of page.

ChoosePayments and All Transactions.

This will show you all financial movements on your eBay account.

Order which are Pending will show date money will be released.

 

Hope this helps

And weirdly, looking at my own transactions, something which was marked as delivered to the customer today has had funds released, so no 2 days waiting.

That's the first time that has happened.

Did you set your own postage, or have you been charged for 'Simple Delivery' postage labels?

On my laptop I can get to the page that shows all my sales and financial movements. The items I sold both show I am due £7 for both (net proceeds). Both say 'completed', no deductions 🤔 

 

I just don't understand what's going on and why I haven't got this money. The guy I spoke to on Ebay rambled on about fees but I just don't see what he means. I haven't had this happen ever before, I feel like I lost my money somehow.

I have always posted with RM 2nd class, my own postage (although now I will use tracked to stop this backlog build up of funds).

Okay weird update. I literally just got money in my balance in the last 10 minutes which was originally due for tomorrow, but the date seems to have changed and I've got it now, plus it's more than it should be. I suspect the extra bit is covering the other item I was expecting payment for today, although I'm still about 66p down 😅 🤔

 

Still unsure what happened to the £7 I should have gotten about 4 days ago. I only seem to have gotten just over £2 for that (should be £7). What a mess.

Maybe there has been some delays to payments because of the Easter Bank Holiday? 

 

All this sort of thing is what makes eBay so frustrating these days. Having to hang around, not knowing when your payments will turn up, & what has been deducted...

 

And with Simple Delivery automatically taking postage payments, it will be even harder trying to keep track of what you will eventually receive... 😖

Maybe, although Easter was done and dusted on Monday and its now Friday.

 

Regarding 'simple delivery', you can avoid that by clicking on 'advanced options'  for postage.

You can do that now but not for long, SD will be mandatory for most categories / items,  seemingly now from the 28th.
