I got a "Scheduled Payout" sent today on Friday. My schedule is weekly on Tuesdays so this is weird and random.

Anyone else have his happen?

Same thing here! Also haven't been charged for Canada Post labels in forever, but there's already a post about that issue that many people seem to be having...

Hello,

I also got the same notification. My payout schedule is normally Tuesday but one was issued for today. I thought maybe they have changed the weekly scheduled payout day from Tuesday to Friday?

Got mine this morning as well.

I recently spotted a discussion on the dot com forum on the subject. US sellers having the same thing happen to them. (Unable to relocate.) I've had it happen to me the past 2 months. My settings are turned off for scheduled payouts. I turn them back on once any planned charges are covered. The payouts were forced by eBay causing me either to not have funds for postage or cover store fees. As per the discussion eBay is overriding seller settings.

Same here. Payout today with weekly tuesday payouts normally

On the US forum there are a number of started discussions about sellers getting unscheduled payouts this morning. In those cases it seems to have something to do with sellers missing previously scheduled payouts for some unknown reason. Maybe during an eBay fix something happened to Canadian sellers settings to over ride whatever they had in place causing a mysterious unexpected payout.

I also got a Friday payout today. I have weekly Tuesday payouts selected probably some sort of a glitch.

Hi @byto253! Thank you for sharing this. There is an open sitewide ticket open under ALERT16072 for sellers having scheduled for weekly payouts, but received two payouts in this week. The Product team is working on resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Same here, payout sent today (usually Tuesdays). Not a big deal, so long as I get my $ any which way.

Same here. No big deal but random.

Me too, but only on this account.

Same thing happened to me after a few old shipping label funds were credited from my account. One was a double charge on an expedited lite shipping label order. If you're using expedited lite, always double check your funds to make sure Canada Post isn't double dipping! It's a nightmare to get your money back and I've now found 3 eBay expedited lite shipping orders that canpost overcharged.

Received the regular Tuesday payout notice this morning.

soti · ‎07-22-2025

Same deal here. Got a normal payout notice last Tuesday (7/15) then a additional payout notice on Friday (7/18). I wondered at that time if my payout date changed, but today Tuesday (7/22) I got my normal payout notice. So, let's see what Friday brings this week.

Got my usual payouts today.

I guess the glitch is fixed?

I would still prefer to be able to hold payments in my Managed Payments fund and do my own transfers, but not very much.

@reallynicestamps

There is a setting to lock payouts as being scheduled or releasing. Not perfect but all we have.

Sounds like the recent surprise payout was caused by a missed US payout. Canadians were just innocent bystanders if they weren't expecting one on that day.

considering how dead sales are on eBay, what's a payout lol.

@easoss

I just wish eBay would finish it's catch up with postage charges so I could force a payout and start the process over to cover store fees in a week. Ever notice you can set your watch for store charges and promoted fees getting removed?
