Nothing has changed?

Not so. Over the 4 or 5 years, eBay sent its members multiple emails and messages about the forthcoming switch away from PayPal over to Managed Payments, and the requirement to verify ID and bank account under the new system.

It then (almost 3 years ago) sent multiple emails and messages telling its members that the new system was in place and what one had to do in order to verify ID and bank account.

It has various Help pages informing sellers of the steps to take in order to be verified, and of the fact that unless a seller is verified, funds will not be disbursed.

Nevertheless, I would agree that more could be done; for instance, any seller who is not fully verified should have a big red beeping banner come up when they try to list something for sale, preventing them from being able to list until they have verified both their ID and their bank account.

In the absence of the big red beeping banner, sellers who don’t receive their funds will at least search the eBay help pages to find out why they’re not getting their money, and/or coming to the boards to post angry or upset complaints about it… at which point the eBay community members who do read the communications from eBay can at least tell them to get verified under the new system, and show them the relevant help pages.

Most informative one on how to be verified is the Registering as a Seller help page.

Maybe if you give us more detail, we can provide advise. Or are you just having a rant for the fun of it.  There are obvious reasons why Ebay will be with holding, maybe fill us in

Seems you did not bother to read all the new T&C you agreed to, not very bright to just click agree.

Also seems you don,t know these are public forums, you are not contacting ebay and will not get a reply from ebay.

I am probably wasting  my time even replying to your post,  as the other threads you have opened, also have replies, that you have either not bothered reading or answering.

Hi Jessica.  We're just other users like you, trying to make sense of what eBay's doing and helping others who are new to the problems we all faced at some stage.

So what I would do if I was you, I'd go and find out how to verify your identification and link your bank account to your eBay account.  There must be a notice somewhere in your account dashboard reminding you to do it, with links to begin the process.

Then you can get your $74.54 deposited into your bank account.  Once that's done, take a deep breath and have happy listings and sales into the future.

If you're struggling, you can look through the help pages to find the chat support option and they can maybe chat with you through the process.

I think Jessica's problem is she is confused and thinks her message has gone straight to ebay. She doesn't seem to realise this is just a messageboard so I'd imagine she is sitting at home, waiting for a reply in her messages that will never come.

And if she isn't aware of changes over the last few years & hasn't signed up to managed payments etc then her money might never come through either.

So I have given her opening post a tick in the hope that she might get a notification and come back to look at people's replies.
