When do you stop being a new seller on eBay,after your first sale,or 5 sales or is it one week one month, basically waiting 2 weeks for payment after customer already has there items is a **bleep**en joke

·2 years agoFeedback doesn't indicate how often you sell, and there is not Ebay document that says that it does.
Ebay have now released the funds based on the message from the seller and are investigating why the buyer didn't receive a QR code and have agreed the buyer should have the option to retrieve the QR code online.

·2 years agoYou have had 4 sales - all come under the policy of funds on hold - till either shown as delivered - received feedback - but still could be up to 30 days hold for each.

·2 years agoIt's ok Dom
They have a message from the buyer to prove the item was picked up

·2 years agoYes you did according to your feedback as a seller, and that feedback shows clearly that you are an "infrequent seller".
Rant as much as you want, but it still will not erase the facts.

·2 years agoeBay don’t advertise how it’s determined that a seller is a “new” seller. There’s no magic formula, because sellers don’t only sell one type of item, at a particular price point, in a particular way, at a particular volume, with a particular transaction history / dispute history / dispute resolution history.
As said, sellers will find themselves back in the new seller designation if their selling pattern changes down to a noticeable trickle or cessation of a particular duration. There are holds if a seller’s selling pattern changes from low-value to high-value items; and so on.
All of this is an anti-fraud measure, mitigating the risk of hijacked dormant accounts and the advent of newly created accounts trying to swoop in for a quick profit before disappearing.

·2 years agoIt's until you establish yourself as a responsible seller. It's there to protect buyers

·2 years agoYou agreed to the terms when you listed the items
No point in complaining you don't like now
Especially when the 5 items you sold were all to the same person
And you have no feedback as a seller prior to that
So it will be a hold of 30days
As was in the t&c that you ticked you had read and understood
Assuming you fully signed up to Managed Payments and got to go ahead to start selling that is
And if you don't sell again for a while, you will be again considered a new seller
As you will be each and every time there is a 'gap' in your selling
Like every other seller
