ebay problem is making me uneasy.

I thought they just hold your funds for 3 weeks just because you are new to Ebay. I don't think your funds are held up because the buyer didn't pick it up. When your funds are released, just cash them out and let the buyer pick it up when they want.

so far, all of my funds have been released as soon as tracking shows delivered. my issue was with leaving them sitting at the post office and them disappearing in the process. but i guess other members have faith in the PO, so that makes me feel better.

 

I have to admit that I live quite away from the P.O. where I have my box. It is enough of a drive on $4.10 a gallon gas now that I might go once a week - even if I have a hot coin waiting for me.

 

If they don't pick it up, eventually it will be sent back. I sent back a buffalo gram bar from Amazon certified. The seller stated it was solid gold but it was gold plated. They never picked it up and it got sent back even though the seller refunded my money. I ended up accidentally throwing it out. Where it probably belonged to begin with.

 

it says estimated fund availability:9/14 so maybe they will release them even if he has not picked them up by then.

 

Riff,

What is the update with your issue?

 

he picked them up tuesday. i got my funds this morning.

 

That's whats up. Sweet... How long have you been collection?

 

I didn't realize that you get your money quicker if you use a tracking number. I used one on an auction and my money is set to release quicker.

 

Once you add a trackering number you do get you money faster because ebay can track it. Once it is delivered, you get you money about 3 days after that.

 

Glad it worked out for you.

 

thats why i never use sig confirm, i just use delvery confirm, way easier they just scan and deliver it

 

However, that is not always a guarantee of delivery to the buyer and they can file an IND with eBay/PayPal, and more often than not win a refund.

 

exactly. technically, you need to be able to PROVE that the BUYER received the item.

 

Which is why I recommend sellers pay the small fee associated with signature delivery.
