just because they are removed from ebay, does not mean you will not get the money. Not sure why pending, you will have to contact them. Is this a new account eg the 21 day hold?

Welcome to the forums.

Were the old listings removed by eB? First question to begin discussion.

eB might have then e-mailed your buyers saying "Questionable items...listings removed...do not pay"...

If the items have been paid for then either offer the buyers a refund and explain the situation, or post the items, but make sure you use a tracked service.

no the money is 'pending' - is that what happens when an item is removed eg for copyright?

I thought you get the money free and clear, meanwhile they write to the customer saying it got removed, then it is up to the customer to dispute it if they want to.

is this pending a new thing?
