Hi All

Have been on Ebay for over 20 years.  After some selling a few years ago I made my first sale at the end of the December 2025.  I got a message to add a bank account to receive payout. I added the same account from which they've been taking money for over 10 years.  I received a microdeposit.  The bank account got confirmed, spent some money and withdrew a little. Then in January 2026 I began selling coins, and have been making regular sales and regular withdrawals whenever I got some round figures, leaving a little for postage stamps. 

Then on 9 March they hit me with this verifcation nonsense saying that " your payments are on hold until update your account details "  with a threat that I could face further restrictions. Why do I need to update it?  

I tried to do the online verification, but could not get it to work.  I opted for microdeposits, but I have not received any.

I know it's only 2 days,  but I think this is illegal and it's only a rouse to delay getting sellers their money.  I started a chat this morning and opted for an agent call. They said 31 minutes, but nobody called so far.  the fact is that I was counting on this money to meet some expenses. 

any suggestions

thanks
