When do you stop being a new seller on eBay,after your first sale,or 5 sales or is it one week one month, basically waiting 2 weeks for payment after customer already has there items is a **bleep**en joke

You agreed to the terms when you listed the items

No point in complaining you don't like now

Especially when the 5 items you sold were all to the same person 

And you have no feedback as a seller prior to that

So it will be a hold of 30days

As was in the t&c that you ticked you had read and understood

Assuming you fully signed up to Managed Payments and got to go ahead to start selling that is

And if you don't sell again for a while, you will be again considered a new seller

As you will be each and every time there is a 'gap' in your selling

Like every other seller

It's until you establish yourself as a responsible seller.  It's there to protect buyers

eBay don’t advertise how it’s determined that a seller is a “new” seller. There’s no magic formula, because sellers don’t only sell one type of item, at a particular price point, in a particular way, at a particular volume, with a particular transaction history / dispute history / dispute resolution history.

As said, sellers will find themselves back in the new seller designation if their selling pattern changes down to a noticeable trickle or cessation of a particular duration. There are holds if a seller’s selling pattern changes from low-value to high-value items; and so on.

All of this is an anti-fraud measure, mitigating the risk of hijacked dormant accounts and the advent of newly created accounts trying to swoop in for a quick profit before disappearing.
