Good afternoon everyone,
After the initial excitement of achieving my first sale on EBay this afternoon, I am now concerned that the sale is a scam. I notice that the "potential" purchaser is also new to Ebay with no ratings like myself.
I would love to hear from anyone who could confirm if my sale is legit or not.
Please see communication from Ebay below:
Payment
Great news – your item has sold! Because you have a limited selling history on eBay, your funds will be on hold until 26 Sep. This helps us confirm that the buyer does not have any issues with the order. Please make sure to upload your tracking details to avoid any delays.
By the way, I haven't posted the item as yet, however do promise postage on the day of the order if lodged before a specific cut off time.
Many thanks

Not a scam.
You need to post the item.
As long as you're registered to sell and signed up for managed payments:
Your payment will be on hold for 14-30 days
