I’ll start by saying that eBay is an exceptional platform for selling and buyingI’m more of a buyer than a seller, but I do sell items of a certain value, and for the second time I’ve found my funds from the sale of an item blocked for 30 days, even though the buyer has already left positive feedback, so there’s no dispute I contacted customer service and, when I asked, I was told that the reason the funds are held for 30 days is that “it’s a high-value item”, so what does that mean? : ….…. So, basically, eBay holds on to the funds from all high-value items for a month. The bottom line: the amount that eBay “wrongly withholds”, in addition to its own commissions, which are of course perfectly fair, is an enormous sum that eBay accumulates with this nasty, unacceptable trick, playing with the money for a month it would be much more fair to increase the fees by one percentage point and release the funds as soon as the buyer leaves positive feedback I consulted a lawyer to see whether there are grounds to sue eBay for misappropriation
