MONEY WRONGFULLY WITHHELD BY EBAY
Summary: The discussion concerns the issue of funds being withheld by eBay without authorization. giorgiogm1958 reports the incident, while cizeta1964 seems to confirm or support the same experience.
today I sold an item. The seller paid eBay immediately withheld the fees and withholds the net proceeds of the sale for a certain number of days (I didn’t understand whether it’s 9 or 14).
in the meantime I AM FORCED TO SHIP THE ITEM without having received a single cent and so ON TRUST I send a package at my own risk.
To me this seems illegal... if I go into a store and buy something they don’t let me leave with the goods before I’ve paid..
These people happily collect THEIR COMMISSIONS IMMEDIATELY and then...... we’ll see
I called and they told me the money is in my account... Fine, I go to get gas and tell the gas station attendant that the money is in my account... You can imagine what a laugh he’d have!!!
SHAME ON YOU

And who should be ashamed, the community of users like you that you wrote to, and which is absolutely not eBay?
Before putting any item up for sale, it’s a good idea to read the rules carefully; complaining afterward makes no sense at all. By putting the item up for sale, you accepted the same rules you’re now disputing.
