I quote from this transcript:
As a new seller, we'll hold your funds for 90 days from your first successful sale, your first 25 transactions and your first A$250 in sales. You must meet all qualifications for your funds to stop being held.
ok, I was curious about the 90 day hold on funds you posted about so I did some investigating. It seems that the “90 days” isn’t a payment hold. The need for 25 feedbacks and having $250 in sales and waiting 90 days . . . these are the requirements to become an “established seller”. The person you had a chat session with got it wrong (if what you quoted is exactly what was in the transcript).
Fancy that, eBay Chat that gives out incorrect advice! Who would have thought?
Here’s an eBay page that explains it, with a screengrab of the relevant section below:
If you are contacting eBay Chat about this then make sure you have a webpage open that shows the information I have given above.
I wish you well with your selling
"And...no mention was made of your more than generous offer to provide needed feedback by buying his empty envelopes."
is that what it has come to? .. buying empty envelopes? ... realistically I think people have better things to do with their time then attempt to game the ebay system so they can actually use it and get around ebay roadblocks .. anyway the moral of the story is ebay is now glitchbay ..
