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%
