Does Anyone know how long it takes for Ebay to release the funds to seller if the item has been authenticated? I received a message from Ebay stating "Good News, your item was authenticated!.
next: your item will be shipped to the buyer. We'll let you know when its delivered.

I can't speak to the policy but can tell you in my case that I receive payment right after receiving the message you referenced came from Ebay--depending on the time, the same day or within 24 hours.
 
Just want to share what happened this past week with a designer handbag I sold. Winner finally paid after I sent her a reminder 3 days after the bidding ended. I shipped the item to authentication center and waited a week to get paid. When I got paid I was surprised how much ebay took from my profit. Fast forward to Friday, I get an email from buyer saying she wants to return the item that is final sale because its not as described. I was shocked this person is saying this. Well as you know with selling authentic designer bags over 500.00 you ship the item to the ebay authentication center in Nevada. Which I did and they check your item to make sure it is authentic and item is as described. So when the buyer pulled this "item not as described bs" Ebay denied her request to return the item and I was relieved because I truly believe the buyer got buyers remorse and that is the only reason why she wanted to return the item. I even reached out to the buyer and said, did you read the description? The bag is exactly as described and it is authentic. She said she is not questioning the authenticity but it doesn't seem like the same bag in the listing. Again, buyers remorse is what she has. So in the end for me I think it was a good thing my bag was sent over to Authentication Center first rather than the old way of selling where as you ship directly to buyer once you get paid. Happy it worked out for me!
 
Is it still against eBay policies to contact someone from more than one account?

I had a non-great interaction with a seller, and just got a really strange (and rude!) message from another account in the same city & state. Will eBay actually do anything about this?

To answer your questions yes and no.

It does violate policy to create another account or use one to harass especially if you blocked the first ID.
You can report it but eBay probably wont do anything.
I would block the ID and not read any of their messages..

Sorry :sad:

I've been on eBay 15 years and it's probably the weirdest person I've had to deal with haha

For the second ID who messaged, if you responded to him/her, they'll be able to contact you through the question.

But if you've blocked that ID, checked that blocked members can't contact you and if you didn't respond to him/her, they won't be able to contact you again.

As hard as it is (and is easier for me as an outsider to advise), don't engage! Just ignore.

She also left a false positive.
