Hello, I just received an email from EBAY, which I’m going to summarize based on what I understood, and it says that from now on my earnings on EBAY will be kept on the site until I request to have them sent to my bank account, or use them to buy things on the site. After a few clicks on links in the message, they end up asking me to possibly update my bank account details... Since I’m not young anymore, and caution is the order of the day, I wanted to ask whether others have received this email, even though that still wouldn’t be a guarantee for me that there’s no risk... I’m adding the content of the GMAIL message... " Important information: how to use your funds from September 1 We would like to inform you that as of September 1, 2026, the way your funds payouts are handled on eBay will change to give you more flexibility in how you use your funds. What’s changing: Your eBay Balance: starting September 1, earnings from your sales will be kept in your eBay Balance. You can use this balance directly to make purchases on eBay, buy shipping labels or promote your listings You stay in control: your earnings will remain available in your eBay Balance until you decide to use them or transfer them to your bank account, at any time. As of September 1, scheduled payouts will no longer be offered. Instead, you’ll be able to transfer your available funds to your bank account at any time. If no earnings from new sales are credited to your balance for 365 consecutive days, the remaining funds will be automatically transferred to your bank account. Learn more about receiving your payments. If you have any questions, our team is here to help you. Thank you for being part of the eBay community. The eBay team" Thank you in advance.
