Your funds will be available for payout once we receive delivery confirmation

[silverfoxx68]

Hi I've just received this message contacted ebay and is being sent to everyone 

That's me I'm done no more ebay for me bye bye

We are making changes to the way we process payments on eBay. Going forward, we’ll make your funds available for payout within 48 hours after we’ve confirmed delivery of the item. Until then, you’ll see a “hold” on your funds. This process helps keep our marketplace safe.

Lol postage deducted from earnings. What earnings? as eBay holds funds
until delivery confirmation and as eBay has made sure deliveries can't be
confirmed this means eBay will be buying postage, not the seller. eBay's
going around in a circle and is going to end up right back at the start
before the new rules. Bless them trying to work it all out as they wade
through their own sxxt.

You sell something for £10 plus £4 postage. Buyer pays £14. The postage of
£4 gets taken off the £14 by ebay postage leaving them to pay you £10 sale
price after 2/14 days when deliver is confirmed. Therefore buyer pays. EBay
holds the funds until delivery and then pays you £10. Simples! 😃

[sunshinedior67]

Not if the seller offers free post

You also need to add on the buyer protection fee to each item which goes in Ebays pockets

[claymarsh_house]

And get paid after 14 days as postage cannot be tracked?

It's getting worse!

I sold 20 items since new rule,  but i noticed EBAY SCAMMED ME ON MY MONEY on two of them!

Says funds ' completed ' BUT NEVER APPEARED ON 'AVAILABLE FUNDS' !!!

 already two of them.

Now I'm closely monitoring everything else as I'm sure they WILL do it with other items.

It's hard to track if you sell 30-40 items a month.

Will have to fight for my stolen money now like I got nothing else to do with my life.

So i sold an item over 48 hours ago, and i should have been paid out. Wasn't and had to talk to an agent  via text chat because it said the payout would be in 72 hours and they assured me not to worry and that it was still going to be 48 hours. And then i called an agent today, only to get told that it's 48 hours after the buyer claims they recieved it? So tracking isn't enough now, the buyer has to tell ebay they recieved the item? I was sat on my ebay app looking at when exactly item got to the buyer on the 5th! So really it's not 48 hours, it's a much much longer time, depending on how involved and vigilant the buyer is with ebay, and that's completely unreliable! Some people dont even leave feedback anymore! What is going on with ebay at the moment!

[gnosisdemiurge]

Ok so, i got through to an actually useful agent after calling ANOTHER time.

Essentially it is 48 hours for payout if the item is less than £100 (or whatever your currency is) if it is MORE than £100 it will be minimum 3 days or longer.

This is all due to them making it seem like there is no selling fees, which there still is but whatever, and they are just juggling the money around to make interest off of it or something instead but the sellers are having to pay for all of this stuff.

Idk what was wrong with ebay before that they had to change any of this.

@gnosisdemiurge 

They are telling you a load of *bleep*.

Have a read of the threads here if you want an accurate idea of timeframes.

Don't worry. You aren't the only one they've bull*bleep*ted.

What andha -21 says!

There is *NO* mechanism or 'button' to push, that a buyer can use to tell ebay they have received their item.

CS didn't just tell you something wrong, they told you something impossible..

[dandantheonesixthfan]

After a considerable length of time of doing so, I'm no longer shipping overseas from the UK, it's simply not viable or practical.

Which is a shame as it cuts down the potential customer base considerably.

I'm still awaiting delivery to be made (much less receiving payment for it after the fact) to a US destination for an item that was shipped with full tracking on the 9th, the sale itself was made on the evening of the 7th. I won't hold my breath.

[littlethingsuneed]

i normally use royal mail but their prices are going up in april AGAIN!!!!

items i sell are carburetor kits for garden petrol power tools for less than £10

they go out as a letter so i used to do global free post 

have done it this way for over 15 years and used to be quite profitable 

but now between greedy ebay fees and royal mail they have 

i will not be doing overseas postage unless it is through ebay global shipping 

and it is very rare i sell anything through ebay global shipping 

so best ebay buck their ideas up where global shipping is concerned

[claymarsh_house]

I dont know why ebay didn't give buyers the choice whether to pay for the
Ebay protection or not. My sales are down by 75pc because of this change in
policy. Most of Ebay sales are according to an article I read. Buyers are
just not happy with it, it seems. Sellers will be reducing the cost of
their items to account for the fees otherwise buyers are just not attracted
enough to buy from ebay.

[parsley2003]

They are charging buyers because selling is now free, that's assuming that we can still sell anything at all now. It's not any sort of protection that's just a name copied from vinted, they are copying everything from the competition
