and to add reason why i pushed ebay for this..is because i posted the item would not be sent until cleared funds as a condition of sale.. the winner didn't even have the money to pay for item.. said he would pay 5 days after he placed his bid...i told him that ebay will hold his funds for 21 days.. his responce was "i don't care u have to post under ebay policy"
a case of a buyer using the systym to his advantage...i waited for payment and i still had to send a second reminder.. this is because the buyer tried to use ebay policy ...for his advantage.i know better i know the law
ok . so im the wrong dooer here for sticking to my rights.. as a casual seller.. i always win ive never lost in court
I had to smile ironically at the part above. Isn't that just typical. A buyer who thinks he has the right to take as long as he likes before paying & who needs a second reminder before payment still expects you to be fast as lightning with posting.
I'd say that if ebay released your funds early it is because you made a fuss. In my experience, the meek don't inherit the earth. But I would wager all the other new sellers are probably still under the 21 day hold, ebay probably haven't changed it across the board, they have made an exception for you.
When I first heard of the 21 day hold, I thought it was pretty harsh, especially on sellers who may have sold a fair bit in a short period because they would be out of pocket postage expenses till the money came through.
But at the same time, I can sort of understand ebay's position as they don't want a new seller to come on, get lots of money in a short time, then close accounts, not send anything, disappear.
