Hello,For 13 years, I have been continuously selling on eBay as a Hungarian company. My problem has existed since the end of August. Back then, a buyer tried to scam me. Unfortunately, eBay has been withholding payments ever since. Not for 3-4 days, but for 40-50-60 days. As they please.The payout periods change every week.At present, I have to wait until January 19 for the purchase price of the products sold today.Customer service keeps stressing that I should send everything by registered mail. But if the buyer doesn’t pay, why should I pay for the extra service?Customer service also wrote that the buyer does not decide immediately whether the product is okay, and that they can change their mind later, which is why eBay is withholding the purchase price.Then I wonder what the buyer protection guarantee is for.Somehow I can’t find my problem in the help menu points.Because there is nothing there for exactly this! Everywhere else, there is a payment deadline of a maximum of 30 days.There are also problems with invoicing. Does an invoice have to be issued so that the purchase price arrives 40 days later and the product has already been with the buyer for 40 days?It is incomprehensible that it is not me managing my company’s money, but eBay.And it doesn’t even pay bank interest.Kind regardsPeter
