Can you accept a deposit on eBay?

Nope. Not that I'm aware of.

Happy to be corrected though

Buyers must pay the total payment in a single transaction - but the have the option to pay using Afterpay or Zip, which staggers the payment - or if paying by PayPal, they can use the “pay in 4” option.

The seller receives the total payment at the time of the transaction.

eBay doesn’t support a “put a deposit on it” payment method. It also doesn’t offer escrow (typically a sign of a scam).

As you haven't sold for a long time, you'll be classed as a new seller and your payments will be on hold.

Have you registered to sell and signed up for managed payments ?

Do not believe any buyer telling you that your payment's on hold until you give them a tracking number as that will be a scam.

Some of your items will attract scammers.

"The seller receives the total payment at the time of the transaction"

@caro-rut

As you haven't sold for a while and not to confuse you, the seller receives the total payment but through eBay's managed payments, which in your case will be on hold.

Don't believe any rubbish from a scammer "pretending" to pay you immediately by Paypal, escrow etc
