the one main reason i am selling on ebay is to generate income from my idems sold ,so how can i ship my idems when ebay holds ( all) shipping funds received from buyers,as well as all other procedes received??.,as the way its set up now, the only way is to leave and sell somewhere else, perhaps and leave ebay for the small barbie doll collectors,and matchbox toy car collectors,you know ,lite weight idems,were their shipping is not much,,so to have a selling site of there own..We're not all made of money,

I sold 3 items and was able to print off 3 shipping labels for USPS 2-3 day with no issues .. . The buyer's paid for the shipping and all 3 items made it in 2 days .. Im in washington and all 3 were East Coast .

The reason why they hold the money is to protect the buyer from possibly not recieving the item they paid for .. if you sell a item and it shows it was delivered your funds become available within 3 days. theres helpfull tips for sellers to get their money faster like .USPS service works just fine ..... I sent the items out on 22nd 3 days before Xmas and they made it in 2 days.. Impressive considering its the holiday ..go to your Paypal account and where it shows funds recieved under more actions select print shipping labels and you have 2 choices select print labels /bill me after the funds become available.. keep in mind. this only works if you listed the item with buyer pays for shipping .no money out of your pocket .. piece of cake .

If you are a new seller,i believe you have to wait for feedback before they let any funds go for shipping,the rules changed for new sellers i believe dec 13th,so what do you do when the funds are there but you can't use them and you have to use your own money to ship out???,or maybe just get out

Give me a break, you're essentially engaging in business and you do have to have a little bit of money to absorb upfront costs. If you don't have enough money to front for the shipping for a few days, you're in pretty bad shape.
