So let me get this right, you sell something on ebay, and until you get positive feedback ( which I have had to numerous times pm users to do for me ) you will not receive your money? So basically they can potentially earn a months interest on your money if this 30 day rules is right? That seems really wrong, however on the flip side I can see the logic. It is trying to prevent fraud, as a lot of accounts get hacked and buyers get ripped off. It is really a vicious circle tbh, if they don't do it people get ripped off and if they do it is a minor deterrent. Nonetheless this is not a good solution and will only cause many angry pm, with potentially a buyer leaving bad feedback as some kind of twisted punishment.
