So according to ebay, if you send an item untracked or if you send it tracked but the tracking info doesn't update once delivered, they will hold onto your payment for 14 days before releasing it, instead of the 2 days if sent tracked and confirmed delivered.
Just read that as well. Funds will be available 2 days after delivery confirmation. Surely they cant do that?? Why would a seller post an item before funds are received? It's illogical. Ebay is getting worse for selling.
As far as I know this is how the likes of Vinted operate, all the fees and postage are paid by the buyers. So I guess to compete eBay have had to follow the same.
