Payment from a sale blocked for a month
Summary: jonquille777 shares that their friend sold a valuable item on eBay for €4,500, but the payment is being held by eBay for a month because of the high amount, with the buyer having time to inspect the item. They’re worried about the possibility of damage during this period and are asking from what amount eBay imposes this hold, since they also want to sell valuable items and want to avoid these kinds of conditions.
Hello
A friend sold a valuable item worth €4500 on eBay. This item has arrived at the buyer’s place but she has not been paid. eBay has blocked the payout of this money. So she expressed her surprise. eBay replied that this money will be blocked for a month because it’s a large amount and the buyer needs time to try out this item...! She fears that the buyer may damage this item over such a long period...
My question is: From what amount does eBay hold the seller’s money for a month? I would indeed like to put a few valuable items up for sale, but not under these conditions.
Thank you for your reply.

For new sellers, the hold is automatic.
For the amount, you'll need to ask customer service because it's not specified in their link:
