New eBay fees and not being able to see the balance held

[tommytwoholes]

So the "New" ebay changes to private sellers now mean a wait for 2 weeks+48 hours for your money or sooner if item is confirmed as delivered.

Couple of things. 

Your balance remains as showing as £0. Anyone else think that this is poor. Surely it should show balance to withdraw as £0 but pending balance is X amount. If you have sold multiple items it means constantly checking what's been sold to get a rough total of what to expect.

As for the change itself. Seems massive overkill. Tbh, I'd rather they just kept fees and made it simple. 

This just opens up a can of worms for returns/cancellations/non delivery and increasing wait times for funds to be held. 

I guess its just about getting the right price and sending everything tracked and including the tracking number on the sold item

Apparently , Private sellers will be seeing new  payment status of payouts,  in their eBay Balance after a sale, which will show:

NEW PAYOUT STATUS 4 FEB 2025

Payout statuses

Here's an explanation of each payout status:

•          Created: A Payout ID has been created and the payout process has started
•          In progress: The payout has been initiated by eBay and is in the process of being sent to your bank
•          Funds sent: Your payout is successful. eBay has sent your payout, it could take 0-4 business days for your bank to process the funds to your bank account
•          Returned: The payout has been initiated by eBay, but an issue has occurred with your bank or eBay
•          Blocked: Your payout method could be invalid, or may have been blocked by eBay
•          Cancelled: Your payout was unsuccessful, and the balance has been added back to your Available funds

Hi tommytwoholes, thanks for your post.

I understand you are not happy with the recent changes, but at the moment you should be able to see your balance, which is what you currently have available to be withdrawn, and right below it, you should be able to see "Total funds" with the X amount that you currently have in your eBay account, which basically includes held funds and everything, which is what you're looking for based on your post above. If you click on it, you can see all the breakdown of available/held funds.

If you are not seeing that or you're seen something else, please let me know, and I'd be happy to take a further look.

Thank you,

Marco
