I contacted Ebay through chat (I have the transcript).

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.

Considering the fact that eBay Chat gave you wrong information, I withdraw my offer to help you get some feedback by buying a used stamp on an addressed envelope.

I wish you well with your selling

you posted earlier that my reply PM to you “contained more emoticons than words”.  I think you should have gone to SpecSavers . . . there were 2½ times as many words as emoticons!   🤔🤣😂
