After 30 years of selling on ebay I get this, Your item has sold and we'll hold the payment until after delivery. And you need to verify your bank account. Is it true, that you are regarded as a new seller if you haven't sold anything on ebay for a while? Well, after having sold over 1000 items with a 100% rating ebay has outlived its usefulness to me. I'll cancel my only transaction and close my seller account.
