I stopped selling international in 2025.

I just sold something and ebay says that my funds will be on hold until March 31. What is this? I just sold some stuff about 2 months ago and did not have this problem. Has this ever happened to anyone else here?
I had this when first starting my account, brand new until you had a certain amount of sales or dollar amount if I remember right. Then it happened again when I had someone claim they received a damaged item and there was a dispute resolution opened. During the dispute process my funds were held again. eBay hates sellers.

Yes. Been selling for 20 years on eBay and this has happened to me a couple times. Usually has to do with a buyer complaint/return I believe.
Got an offer for Nightwing 42B and Batman 145 Putri from someone in China like some of you mentioned. Has 13 positive feedbacks and looks kinda legit. Only 66% offer of the asking price so I think Iām going to pass because Iām getting a lot of views and watchers for it. Iām usually fine with international buyers and havenāt got scammed yet and I did picked this up for cover price but will pass on this.
The man is persistant, aināt giving up.

The man says he wants me to send it to his friend who lives in the US and sheāll bring it over to Shanghai for him. I told him I only ship to an address thatās listed on the ebay account. No exceptions.
If they want to change their eBay mailing address I am good with that, but this sounds sketchy af

I only use eBay GSP for international shipping now. I know the cost to the buyer is quite a bit more, but it eliminates most of the headaches from a seller standpoint.

I wish ebay Canada had a global ship program, maybe wouldāve had the sale. Then again he wants me to ship it to an address not listed on his account, donāt think ebay global ship would be OK with this.

āNow I understand the real reasonā is a weird thing to say in an email to an eBay seller.
Yeah Iāve been very polite throughout the whole exchange. Going to see my way outā¦enough of this lol

Ok so now Iām sketched out. If he has an ebay US confirmed address he can just buy it or make an offer (I have BO on), he doesnāt need me to send him an offer. Feels like Iām trapped once I send an offer.
I think you just need to block him. Someone else will come along. Also, take offers off and sell it for $40 bucks.

Agreed, done.
Why canāt they just have their friend who lives in the US buy it on eBay for them? They can then Reimburse them for it.
Why make you do all the work/have all the risk?
You are right to block themā¦just on that principle alone.

I have a message from the same guy. He gave me a low offer on my copy of Nightwing 52b but I ended up selling to another person for $10 more. Messages me on eBay regarding my other copy I have for sale on Mercari that I havenāt put up on eBay yet and again gives me a low offer and story. Gonna add him to my block list now. Thanks.
