      Start getting paid on eBay

      Getting paid for items you've sold on eBay is simple. Your buyers can choose from a range of payment methods, eBay manages the end-to-end payments process, and you receive your funds directly in your bank account.

      Payouts for sellers without a Pro plan - opens in new window or tab are now on demand only. This means you can request a payout of your Available funds to your bank account at any time. Pro sellers can receive payouts daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, as well as on demand.

      We've also introduced clear criteria of how the funds for new sellers registered as individuals can typically become available within 48 hours of the buyer paying. Funds from your eBay sales may be placed on hold in other situations, including if you're a new seller registered as a business. For more information, see our page on transaction holds.
