Unfortunately I'm having this issue now where my funds are being illegally held for 1 - 2 months, *after* paying the $246 seller fee and completing the transaction. Received perfect feedback, it's under eBay's payment management system which I have used on a number of occasions (items higher value than this one), where the funds were released within 3 days (PayPal prior to that). When I raised the possibility about them illegally laundering my money (based on the feedback I received from Wednesday last week until now) which led me to believe that, they swept it under the rug faster than a house fly. It's just annoying that someone sat there and said 'I know, let's use HIS money to launder' lol.

Personally, I don't think I'll be getting the money for this item so I'll be going to York Street, or George Street, whichever is their head office, at some point.
