i sold an item on ebay for $****. It sold quickly. almost as quick was ebay withdrawing $600 plus as their share , but putting my money on hold for 4 weeks! I have been an ebay seller/buyer since 2006. Because i havent sold anything in a year , "their policy " is the right to hold MY money (but take theirs of course) this is bad business. The buyer is over the moon with the item and left emails and feedback as such. But the ebay robots i called ( for the best part of an hour) are reading from a script with no give as we have the right to hold MY money cause they say so. I will be closing my ebay accounts and my friends and families plus my company account will also go. Beyond disappointed, I will NEVER recommend ebay to anyone. Marketplace, gumtree etc for sure ......ebay ......never.
