When can I post my items now with managed payments??

kitty-kat-kollection — Thu, 13 Aug 2020 05:52:05 GMT

Hmmm. My managed payments thingo is now active, and every sale I've had for the last 3 days says payment has been made, but funds are being held until cleared.

Ok, fine, but I'm used to receiving funds into my Paypal account and being able to post literally right away.

How long will it take for all these future payments to clear, and if it's 2-3 days, how am I supposed to maintain my account's postage and handling time of 1-2 days? I don't want to change it to 3-5 days just because of this! I like being quick for my customers!

in the email you get from ebay it should have one of two subjects - "Sale Confirmed:" or "Your ebay item sold!" Once you received the "Your ebay item sold!" email, you're supposed to post. alternatively, if it shows as "awaiting postage" in your my ebay dashboard you should also post.

the funds will show as "pending" in your "Payments" (the managed payments) tab, but the funds are being processed on ebays end and they have received them.

that's my understanding anyway.

Anything that is in awaiting shipment, you ship immediately, regardless the payment status in your manage payment

We went on the MPS today and although had several sales we never received a single email notification of a sale from eBay.

Only way of seeing sales is in the "Awaiting Delivery" segement of the Sellers Hub.

If I forget to check then a sale could sit there for some time before I see it

I'm just kind of laughing at this. Really? How gullible are you people.

op DO NOT POST until you have the money in your bank account. Ignore this misguided advice. The reason they are holding paynents for days while they 'clear' (big LOL to that) is because they can AND demand you post an item not paid for. Like what??

Don't be a sheep. Sheep enable this kind of abuse of power. Quite simply it's terrifying how easy people are to con. If all shipments were delayed due to Ebay holding and profiting off payments (they should clear fairly instantly), what's a bet 'ol feebay would speed up the transfers

Says someone who admittedly doesn't sell on eBay and probably wants other sellers to cop negs so their own atrocious feedback isn't so glaringly obvious.

Just to clarify.

If the item is 'awaiting postage' you post

If the item is 'awaiting payment' you don't post.

This is a genuine question:

Why should anyone trust you over any other member posting here - can you please help me to understand your qualifications and / or evidence to be providing this advice, other than "eBay bad"?

If I blindly follow what you say, just because you call people who don't "sheep", wouldn't that - in fact - make me a sheep?

If it doesn't, please explain why not.

Secondary question, if you feel like answering it honestly.... Have you ever actually dealt with an online payment system other than PayPal before?

By baiting, do you mean calling other members "gullible", "misguided", "sheep", "easy...to con", while providing factually incorrect selling advice, such as in this post here ? Or should that be classified as harmful? Or name calling? Or is it just a mixed-bag of infractions?

EEK! Thank you for this advice! I'm just a bit nervous as I'm so used to only posting once payment is received by ME personally. I keep thinking like this ebay hold on the funds is like the annoying Paypal e-cheque thing where the buyer pays but doesn't have a credit card linked so payment has to clear, takes 5-7 days, and I'm told not to post until it clears.

An echeque paypal order doesn't appear in your awaiting ship until its clear itself - thus just look into your awaiting ship to see what you need to ship.

I'm happy to ship while ebay is still processing the payment. This is because I have received every payment so far as promised so I feel assured that the funds will be sent to my bank account. I have always kept a float amount in my account to cover expenses while income comes in, that's my established business practice already. Assuming I'm being an abused sheep for doing what works for me and my sales is a bit of a stretch.

Is ebay a sheep too for allowing sellers to pay their insertion fees at the end of the month and not upfront when they list? Or are only people who do differently to you sheep?

Just pretend that ebay funds are like paypal. You can see the money there, so you post straight away (or within your 2 days handling time).
