    Feedback 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.

    I didn't "start up selling" again. I have recent sales.

    You 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.

    They have a message from the buyer to prove the item was picked up

    Yes 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.

    eBay 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.

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

    You 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
