How long do payment disputes normaly take

[bookishman]

How long do payment disputes take, I have one that has lasted 2 weeks so far, I can give definite guarantees that the item was delivered nearly a month ago and have had discussions with the buyer about various items, he was delighted to receive the items, so why is it still going on, I think that not having money put into my bank account by eBay is caused by this dispute, I have closed my shop because of the marvelous new system bought in by the marvelous eBay people, they must be making a fortune.

Ignore Paypal they have nothing to do with these transactions.

Now,you have in your bank account £272 payment for the books which is being disputed as unrecognised transaction,the monies from your latest sales is being held by eBay to cover this dispute(rather than taking it back from your bank).

Once the dispute has been decided you will either have these payments released to your bank account(you win dispute)or your buyer will be refunded from the held payments(you lost dispute)
