Receipts request- not got any, advice?

[paulfoltyn]

I had a break from sales from September, Private seller account 4-5 year old 300+ sales, mostly £100-300 items, 100% feedback. Good stats. Decided to start selling again, now ebay have changed to holding private sellers money hostage. Sold 6 new items £100-400 in value, total £1100 held hostage in the ebay. Should have went slower i know, didn't expect ebay to start doing paypals tricks. They requested i wait, i did, then request tracking. All tracking added, delivered and most left positive feedback already. Now they have request ID, Proof of Address and receipts. I don't have receipts, bought them off a bloke down the pub. Now i know that ain't going to fly with ebay. When ever i sent made up receipts in the past, (long time ago) that killed the accounts 100% of the time.

Can anyone advise how to proceed and pass this hold? PM if preferred.

which items did you sell?

[rsot]

What category of sales OP? That would help for discussion or pm if discuss privately

Can you find the guy in the pub who sold you those items,he may be able to find you a supplier and makes up some receipt.

If you have the info they want...you will have to be creative and hope - or find someone who can do them. The "guy in the pub", if reachable, might be of interest...

Its all branded consumer electronics

Since tracking shows delivered,you may want to explain to Ebay YOU DOt no have receipts as you bought them from an indvidual,and see when they will release your fund

Would also suggest what agent said, but take in note that there is a high chance they don't accept that as answer (it depends on the CS you got assigned to deal with your case). Asking for receipts is basically part of the MC011 "Proof of ownership" on the items listed, so if they decline the first explanation the only way around it will be to actually find some receipts/invoices to match the items listed

[agent006140]

Plenty of Ebay sellers find items in attic,garage sale,basement,even in garbage can,or their old wedding gifts,tell EBAY is not fair just to make you prove receipts,besides buyers have received the gifts and left feedback.
Some sellers even threaten to go to local radio/ newspaper to complain.
Another option is to make the pub guy made up some receipt and sign his name and phone number.
question,will Ebay eventually release your fund,since buyers have received the goods?

You do come up with some rubbish, I mean, I love reading your posts as its like you live on a completely different planet, so I thought I'd reply to this one , just for kicks.

'tell eBay its not fair' - yes , cause that works.

'some sellers even threaten' - lol, every seller does that, the keyboard warrior is loved by the eBay call centre peeps they have a good old giggle come lunch time. Also Stealth sellers certainly won't ever go to the newspaper.

'pub guy to sign his name' = LMAO, pub guy means the items have been 'acquired' in a questionable way, why the heck would they sign a piece of paper saying them sold them? lol

'EBay will eventually release your funds' - nope, nadad, definitely not is always the case.

Even if some of these could actually work, the main issue will be if the OP have listed and sold if they are ''same'' or ''similar''. As I said above - if they accept the explanations, great! But I wont count on that.

-----------------------------------------
I have been selling on Ebay and others which no longer exist for many many years,where were you?
How do you know they do not work,are you Ebay?
I know a lady who got suspended,she held up a sign outside Ebay headquarter every morning and finally got re admitted.
There was a time seller claimed they cannot fill their orderrs as they were hospitalised,and eBAY demanded to see his hospital records and name of doctor,now they wont bother or rather AI does not bother.
In the early days,people sent cash,money order,personal check to pay Ebay fees !
Sellers can call buyer at the end of the year to request payment for goods they won and actually work! I did once.
If you know so much,how did you get suspended?
Rule number 1,follow Ebay rules, rule number 2,folow rule 1

[agent006140]

Also Stealth sellers certainly won't ever go to the newspaper.

How do you know?
Local newspaper does not care if you are working with a stealth account,it is a story to report,they may not even know what is a stealth account.
as to asking the pub guy ,when I travel on company account,I will ask the cab driver to scribble his initial and $ on paper ripped off from day old newspaper,and include it in my expense report.
Dont be so feisty,you wil be eating humble pie some day ,or old age sets in and you will lose that feisty spirit like Hackman
I am suggesting ways which have help others sellers in the past,it is up to OP to decide if it is worth considering,it is not a debate to see who is smarter or know it all.
If you dont like my ideas,just block me,you are not EBAY.

Hahah, it's a shame you don't know much.

You're talking in such historical and minority terms, it has literally zero relevance these days.

Lots of anecdotal stories, the world does like a fairytale, must admit.

Who said I was ever suspended?
