So how dumb is this. When you sell a watch on ebay.com for over $2000, it has to go to a watchmaker to be authenticated. That's fine. Don't mind that. But the funds are put on hold. Again, fine, don't mind that either.
However, I was under the impression that the funds would be released once the item reaches the watchmaker and it's authenticated, as it's now out of my hands. Completely out of my control as to what happens to the watch next. But instead, the funds are released after it's been authenticated, repackaged, shipped and arrives at the buyers house. That makes zero sense to me. Truly baffling. What if they fuck the packaging up? Or it goes to the wrong place and so on? B i z a r r e.
