It’s so stupid. That is happening to me right now. I’ve sold for years and only had payments on hold for small periods of time in the beginning. I just sold an item at auction that sold for over a thousand dollars and they put my funds in hold for a full month. Even when provided tracking and delivery confirmation via signature confirmation and positive feedback from buyer, they say this is an “extended hold” due to the price of the item. I’ve sold many items of similar price and this is the first time this happens. I have several other items that will sell for similar prices and I will simply not list them on eBay. eBay definitely took their cut right away, which at this point is almost 12% of the sale price. Customer service refused to help. Definitely taking my business elsewhere like everyone else is doing. It is unsustainable to be an eBay seller at this point. You pay all the fees, do everything correctly and all you get is this kind of bull.
