Do you mean: the seller has paid and the item has been sent but the money hasn’t been received?


If this is your first time selling, (or one of your first few times selling) eBay will withhold your money for (i believe) a month to ensure that your not trying to scam people.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

Is it normal for it to take 2 weeks to verify a Bank account? This seems excessively long.

Did they do two small (sub-$1) transactions, then ask you to verify the amounts? That should post to your bank account almost immediately.

That's why I never make "agreements" with buyers through messages. Nuance leads to being taken advantage of, and if you give the average buyer an inch they'll take a mile and ask for more.

Not sure what you mean. I'm refering to the process where Ebay holds your money for a short period of time on your first few sales. In those cases the buyer has paid Ebay and Ebay will give you your money when it has been determined that you are a genuine seller. Not sure how that makes it easier for the seller to get scammed.

I've sold plenty of stuff on ebay over the years, never been scammed by anyone, but I've had some insane sellers try to accuse me of malice however when they sell me products not as described. But it sounds like you went around ebay conventions and are suprised you got screwed.
