Hi genesiscom_82, Yes just today experienced this in our Visa account, 4 separate transactions adding up to $475.23, plus a 'pending' amount of $475.23 on top of that.

Both eBay and my Bank assure me that the single amount of $475.23 is an 'authorisation' on hold until the individual transactions are cleared to the seller's accounts, after which time the single 'authorisation' hold amount will disappear from our transaction list and that '$475.23 will again appear as available balance. The problem I (and you) have had with it is that it ties up extra money in the account that you might need desperately until the authorisation amount is released back to your account.  

I was able to get someone helpful on the live chat, who says they have passed this to Payments team to clear ASAP.  I told them it was urgent. but realistically I think it will take the full 7 days. It is a stupid system, probably imposed because I used a Visa Card transaction instead of going through Paypal as I usually do.
