Weekly Ebay payout didn't show up yesterday like it should......anyone else?

[fergua3]

The weekly Ebay payout didn't show up in my bank account yesterday.  It's been very reliable for months but yesterday no money was deposited.  Anyone  else have a payout payment not show up?

[ricarmic]

Mine came through today as normal (TD)....

Mine hasnt yet, but I’ve had the odd payout be a day or two delayed before so not too worried about it

I'm pretty sure mine was deposited yesterday, but sometimes there's bank delays. If eBay says they sent your payout and you haven't recently updated  your banking info, I'd sit tight for another day or so.

I got the eBay notice, and don't usually worry about the transfer acceptance.

I've seen the acceptance blamed on the receiving bank in the past.

So my payment still didn't show.  This is unprecidented in all the years i've been using MP, so i called my bank with the transaction ID number Ebay gave me.  My bank said they cannot help in any way, as they cannot track incoming payments and that the ID number is meaningless to them.

So, if this money does not show up i gather i am out the money.   My bank told me to tell Ebay to resend the payout  but Ebay just has to say, we sent it, the ID number is proof we sent it and that is that.  So, i will suspend all Ebay activity until this payment shows in my account.  Making sales you don't get paid for is worse than making no sales at all......not only am i out the item and the money for the item,  i am out the shipping cost i forked out as well.

It's happened sometimes that it's taken a few days, try not to panic just yet. I've had them be stuck for a couple of days in the past too.

what's more upsetting, is that there doesn't seem to be a darn thing i can do about it if it never shows up.  My bank says 'we can't do anything' and Ebay says 'we sent it, talk to your bank'.     How do i know Ebay even sent it?  How do i know that somehow my bank just didn't have a gltich and the money went poof?

Mine usually shows up in the account by the evening on Tuesday. Its Wednesday eve & still no $. No biggie, I'm sure it'll be there tomorrow.

My regular Tuesday payout landed in my Simplii/CIBC account on Tuesday as usual. It's only been late once since 2020.

I do hear of delays from time to time so I wouldn't panic just yet.

In any case eBay is not going to rip you off, if there was a glitch of some sort they will take care of it, while your bank can't help you eBay can track the transaction from their end and see if it was rejected in the ACH system or sent to the wrong bank account or ???

Suspending you eBay activity is a gross over reaction.

[fergua3]

I suppose....but it's now Thrusday morning and still no money.... what if going forward  there is no way to deposit money in my bank account?   Will Ebay mail be a cheque?  Will they deposit it in my Paypal account instead?   There is no point in selling and shipping items if i can't get the money, it's just costing me money in shipping fees.

With the postal strike, the tariff threat, the HS/CoO code problem and now this payout not showing up, it's all becoming too much trouble to sell on Ebay and i'm pretty fed up.     Ebay hasn't even fixed the sign n problem on this forum yet....it's been 3 weeks.  When i get signed out of here i also get signed out of my ebay.ca account.   I am constantly having to sign in, every thing i do.  

The most concerning thing, as i said, is that my bank can't/won't help.  Why would Ebay give me a huge bank transfer ID number for my bank to trace, if my bank can't trace it?

[recped]

Call eBay again and tell them your bank checked the number and found no record of receiving the transfer.

Just to put your mind at ease, I had a payout delayed by 5 days because TD was upgrading their processing system. This was at the start of the year. TD and eBay could not help in any way, but the problem was on the bank’s end. It should land in your account soon, so just hang in there. I recall it being very stressful at the time, and with all the other issues right now, I am sure you are pulling your hair out.

Hang in there. By next week we will be telling war stories about how difficult it was but we all survived with battle scars. Don’t give up, it will get better.

I do daily payouts, but I have still not received my payout from Feb 4. I did however receive by payout of Feb 5 on time. Wealthsimple says they have no evidence of a transaction from Feb 4, eBay says wait another 48 hours. Very annoyed.

[radretrocanada]

Same here.  Still waiting

[fergua3]

There seems to be a growing number of us.  I wonder just how many there are that Ebay has not sent a payout to.  Maybe they're having cash flow problems and can't cover all the payouts.

No action since Friday....usually when a payment is 'in progress' it takes a few minutes before the money is sent,  not several days, so i have to wonder if anything is reallly being done at all.

On September 30/24 eBay had cash and short term investments (close to cash) of 5 BILLION US Dollars, they do not have a cash flow problem.

FYI - I received my payout from the 4th as I always have.

Obviously there is an issue with some payouts on that date, no need to make stuff up.

[fergua3]

sigh.....i didn't make stuff up, i was hyhpothosizing.  Stop accusing me of making stuff up, you've done it before.......do not do it again. 

i, like others, am very frustrated with Ebay.  If this was a one time thing it wouldn't be that big of a deal but it is just the latest in an ongoing litany of screw ups by Ebay.  They make little effort to correct their mistakes in a timely fashion or communicate, and nobody at CS even seems to have a clue what we're talking about or they just try to get us off the phone.

It's just another example of the 2nd class citizen treatment of sellers by Ebay.

I'm on daily payout with a Royal Bank business account and all of mine seem to be fine (I just checked). I wonder if the issues are bank specific or just random?

[roxx66]

I too am still waiting for my payout from Feb.4! There is a payout ID and says it's still in progress. Like really?

I get weekly payouts (Tuesdays) and this has never happened before.  I'm starting to get upset...waiting for a call back from CS about it. Sounds like there is nothing I can do about it. Not a happy camper.
