I thought some around here might be interested that eBay UK joined PayPal, Temu, OnBuy, Stripe and others in signing the Office of the Small Business Commissioner's 10 point payments fairness and transparency pledge.
I suspect a fair number of business sellers who have had their payouts delayed until after delivery recently would say eBay is not living up to most of those points - and for those who are experiencing those issues, it might not be a bad idea to let OSBC know about it.

Thats my point. Unless the Office Commisioner takes action against ebay as well as the Ombudsman

Although I have it in writing from one of their cs agents which stated that my account would be back to normal after 30 days nothing happened. They just lied and lied until I gave up. Their final response was that my situation was not appealable which is why I went to the ombudsman. If this isn't overturned I'll will use another platform-I've told them that but they don't care. I was on for 250k this year which they'll lose next year but trust me that amount to them is nothing and will be recouped in other ways such as holding funds for interest purposes and lending money. If every business seller with these issues left the platform or they get fined via the ombudsman for unfair practise then they might, just might take notice. It's David and Goliath here hopefully.
