Payments on hold

[corey-james]

So I didn’t sell for maybe a month after selling daily for a month and a half, after selling again a few payments came through to me instantly although now, every single payment shows that it’s available within 24 hours of delivery, I post my items untracked so how do I get my money?! I’m worried buyers can now scam me as it has happened before to me, please help. 

[corey-james]

My apologies if I came across as anything other than looking for help, I’ve contacted eBay for days requested a call and every other option, coming here to ask was my last resort.

i have no idea why this is happening, anywho sorry if you thought I was being rude ect have a nice day.

There is an estimated delivery date, and I think that is what eBay go by on untracked items.  I wouldn't worry about being scammed as I find most buyers to be honest and most would not make up a lie to say they didn't receive the item.  I sold many things untracked in the past without any problems.  However,  there is no guarantee you won't come across a scammer at some time even with tracked items.   As for your money on hold, I would think because you have less than 100% feedback and a low number of feedbacks overall (79)

Shows you are not a very experienced Seller.

What would be an acceptable amount of feedback for me to be an experienced seller? Thanks so much for the help I understand it a bit more now!

You might be now categorised as a new seller by ebay:   

New sellers typically experience holds for up to 30 days, although sometimes it may be longer.

You can see the status of your funds in Seller Hub - opens in new window or tab.

A break of  1 month, is not sufficient to alter a sellers status.

Sometimes ebay works in mysterious ways.

What does  "packed in toploaded"  mean?

[corey-james]

Packed in a top loader, for tcg cards you have penny sleeves and then also too loaders (a hard plastic protection case) I use them for cards over $10 when I’m shipping

[corey-james]

Top loaders* auto correct -.-

[curraone]

[corey-james]
