Changes to funds availability

Funds will become available when an item has been delivered, unless subject to a hold. To determine that an item has been delivered, we’ll use the following criteria: 

 

  • For tracked deliveries, funds will typically be available 2 calendar days after we receive confirmation from the tracked shipping service that the delivery was successful
  • For local pickup, funds will be available after you exchange the 6 digit code or QR code with your buyer
  • If the item includes Authenticity Guarantee, funds will be available after the item is successfully authenticated.
  • For items sent via eBay International Shipping, funds will be available after the item is shipped to the buyer from the US shipping hub
  • For untracked deliveries, or tracked deliveries when there is no delivery confirmation, funds will become available within 30 calendar days from the order date

Funds will appear as On hold until the order is delivered or complete and any applicable holds have been resolved. If we place a hold on your funds, it will usually be resolved within 30 days, but in rare circumstances it may take longer. You can use your On hold funds to buy shipping labels and give refunds to the buyer. 

To get your funds faster, we recommend using eBay labels, which include tracking, and sending your order as soon as possible after the buyer pays.
