Damn near flat broke so put a few bits on eBay in the hope of getting some Christmas cash. Have sold stuff on eBay before but not for a couple of years, but never had any issues with them.
The first item sold this evening but I got a notification that eBay is holding on to my money for two weeks, because this is the first time I’ve sold an item since they moved away from PayPal.
I can’t afford to ship the item without receiving the money for the item.
I went onto eBay’s customer service chat where an advisor actually suggested I get into debt to ship the item, as “without shipping the item in time can affect more holds on your account.”
So eBay keeps my money for two weeks for no apparent reason, and my options are- go into debt to ship the item in time (per the advice of the customer service rep), or be sanctioned by eBay for not shipping the item in time, because I can’t afford to, because they’re keeping my money.
Apparently there is not one person in the ENTIRE company with the authority to release my money before 14 days.
