I haven't done the microdeposits but have posted listings, would this prevent them from being viewed

I've setup my eBay sellers account and have everything done except the microdeposits. Once I've submitted those will people be able to see my listings publicly? It shows that I have no active listings, unless I go deep into my seller's summary page. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

It's a steep enough learning curve that it is probably not a good idea to list anything until you have a reliable method of being paid.

 

Even then, your customer's cleared payment will be Held by Managed Payments for up to 30 days against your performance.

Using tracked shipping and showing the date of delivery can speed this up.

 

FWIW- I had problems getting payments transferred to my bank when I first set up MP, even though I had been selling on this account for 20 years.

When the bank problem was resolved, the money was promptly transferred and in full.

As @femmefan1946 stated it is *not* recommended to sell prior to having payments set up fully and vertified.


I have sold on here for decades and used to have two accounts, each for different things. When C19 hit one was shut down. Last year I went to activate it again and eBay forced the payments system. While waiting for the micro-payments I listed and sold some items. When the micro-deposits were completed I came back to eBay to enter them and eBay kept going through some sort of loop and wouldn't let me enter the micro-payments as deposited. It's been a year and they are still denying me access to the account even though I've verified multiple micro-depostis into my bank account, have provided visual proof the account is mine with receipts, and have been in good standing with them for decades. I have spoke to numerous people and heard numerous stories as to what's going on, they seem to cycle through a few different options none of which are relevant as there is nothing wrong with my bank account. They owe me $390! eBay can be a pain in the behind at times but things typically work themselves out - this is a new level of exasperation.


So yeah, extremely *not* recommended to sell until you've verified the micro-deposits. Even then I'd double check that eBay has actually accepted the verification.

How long ago did you post your listings?  It can take up to 24 hours to index them.  I don't know if eBay hides listings until your managed payments is totally set up but you won't be able to get paid until it is.

 

You do have 2 listings that were ended today. Did you end them?
