Getting paid
 

Hello

What is the deal with getting paid on new accounts?

Someone mentioned 15 days to get your money. I don't think I'll be using ebay's shipping for now.

Re: Getting paid
 

What do you mean exactly? What's the problem?

I recommend using their shipping so the tracking uploads immediately.

How long does it take to get paid on new accounts?

I will be posting from another country so that's not an option

Re: Getting paid
 

It takes 15 days from being paid to receive your money on a new account or one that has low turnover, now with MP it still takes 3 to 4 days after the sale to receive the money on a mature account.

Re: Getting paid
 

OK thanks.

Is that the same for UK accounts? Because with PayPal at least I believe we used to get our money quicker usually due to us using FPS over here.

Re: Getting paid
 

It is the rule for a UK account as I run some, It still takes 3 days for MP to get the money into your account, rule of thumb get paid Monday money deposited into your account on Wed/Thursday depending on bank.

Re: Getting paid
 

After the tracking says delivered it’s normally 3-7 days till they say they pay me out on new account. I get my money paid into my account on the day it’s send.
Halifax and Natwest accounts for information.

Re: Getting paid
 

On my UK accounts I the funds the day after payment has been made, and the same day the money is sent to me.

Re: Getting paid
 

I think it depends on the bank and also I seem to get paid sooner if using Royal Mail tracked, I prefer DPD and they payment seems later if I use them.

Re: Getting paid
 

banks does seem to play a part on showing of money received

Re: Getting paid
 

All new UK accounts have a 15 day hold, this is ebay safety mechanism against quick fraud.

On mature accounts, payout is within 2 days after a sale, but I usually use Royal Mail and upload tracking straightaway.

Re: Getting paid
 

solid move

Re: Getting paid
 

How do new accounts react to payments on first sale?

I want to sell something expensive as a first item, it could reach £300-400

Am I likely to get suspended? Docs aren't an issue as it will be my real account.

Re: Getting paid
 

first item that high...odds are likely you will get suspended. will you be reinstated? hard to say 100% certain even with docs - is the item a legit one?what's the category?

Re: Getting paid
 

Yes, legit.

I may sell it on a stealth account then to test.

Re: Getting paid
 

hope it works out - the high dollar item first sale is risky anyhow without sales history

Re: Getting paid
 

Even if it's a real account with legit docs, if they deem you too risky, they'll come up with a blanket excuse to kick you out.

It'd do you well to have the mindset that they can do whatever they want so play it safe and smart.

Re: Getting paid
 

The only way not to get the account suspended with an expensive item is to sell it as an auction starting at £0.99, the bots do not flag it and when the sale runs high there is no issue.

Re: Getting paid
 

That actually makes sense.

Re: Getting paid
 

So I sold something, about £200.

The email tells me that payment will be released in two weeks. But going into order details on Ebay it says more than 5 weeks!

And if I click on something else it says the day after the 5 week date.

Three dates!

So, what is true?

Re: Getting paid
 

physically shipped or digital delivery?
