Length of time for payment to be released.

Sold an item on 10/11/24. Buyer paid straight away. Finally EBay released my money, minus their 20% fee, a month later.  I can see why I don't really like to use EBay now. Ridiculously long period of time between when buyer says "received, thanks", and EBay releases funds.

Buyer saying received thanks, means absolutely nothing, unless you meet all criteria and actually request your funds be released  early.

I am guessing you did not bother learning how ebay works, and as such believe the UA and policies do not apply to you, wrong!

It might also be a good idea to figure out how ebay fees are calculated, as they are nowhere near 20%

Exactly. This is the fifth time they have posted, complaining/questioning the same thing and were answered every other time they posted

Have to ask, why was your fee 20% ?

That is much higher that the normal fee

Did you have extras as part of your listing or a higher fee due to seller performance? 

Or just slight inflation ?

The hold on finds for new sellers is usually 30 days

Which, again, you agreed to when you listed

As you have been answered every other time you have posted exactly the same thing, and have been answered every time

And the hold will apply each time you go a while without selling anything
