Is eBay Skipping Weekly Managed Payments Payout 8-31-21?
UPDATE: Sellers are reporting customer service has acknowledged this is a "site issue" that is being escalated. Some sellers have reported they've finally received notice of payouts going out today while others are still seeing no payout processed yet.
It appears eBay is in the process of getting payouts pushed through and hopefully it will continue to update throughout the day.
A seller reported to me they are not seeing a scheduled payout from eBay today even though they have funds available to be paid out.
It looks like so far there have been a few other reports in the eBay community as well.
Some sellers on the daily payout schedule are also reporting issues. They are seeing payouts listed with today's date, but the amount is for the payout that was processed yesterday, August 30th.
This may just be a delay in updating the information displayed in the payments tab, but sellers are understandably nervous when it comes to payments and cash flow.
This situation sounds very similar to past technical issues eBay has had with Managed Payments.
In those cases, it was a delay in batch processing and eBay was still able to push through the payouts, they just occurred later in the day than usual. Hopefully that's all this is and payouts will still happen today, but eBay should put out an announcement as soon as possible to let sellers know what is going on.
I'll update as more details are available.

As many of the items I sell are £10 or less, this makes it not worth the bother and I'll probably have to give it away to the charity shop.
Add that to the "buyer protection" fee they've added on - and the costs are making it untenable for people trying to clear the house, or make a few bob from old bits and pieces. Not happy at all and there doesn't seem to be a way of opting out.
The sooner these sleazebags at the top can be got rid of, or some community-run buy/sell/swap sites come up - the better. We don't need ebay.
