Overview

• Effective August 6, sellers meeting performance thresholds will be paid within 24 hours of sale instead of waiting two days after delivery confirmation.
• To qualify for fast payouts, sellers must have completed at least ten sales totaling £150 or more in the past five years and have no more than two unresolved cases in the last 12 months.
• The My eBay dashboard will display progress toward the payout criteria, evaluate each order for 15 days before counting it, and send real-time alerts when sellers qualify.
• On July 17, eBay cut its fixed Buyer Protection fee from 75p to 10p for most private sales and introduced a tiered percentage structure that shifts protection costs onto buyers.
• A live Buyer Protection fee calculator is due to launch soon, allowing shoppers to estimate fees up front before completing a purchase.
