Ebay balance - how can I withdraw the funds from my sales

Ebay has recently convoluted something that didn't need changing, but making a seller's earnings go into a balance rather than directly to a bank account.

I've spent over an hour, tearing my fkin hair out trying to figure out how to withdraw the money in my balance.  I have over £150 sat in there and there's no option to withdraw it!  How on earth do I instruct ebay to fking pay me!!!! !!!!!! I want to scream!

    Seller Hub - Payments - Summary -   then in the blue banner that shows your balance click the arrow that points to the right - then click the withdraw button.

    Same her, 2 clicks from home page plus there’s a nifty little video explaining how to do it on the same link if you are not sure.

    As an aside, anyone else get asked to sign in every single time they view the payments section on eBay?

    Yes, every single time since managed payments was brought in and as I have 2FA set up I can’t check my balances on my PC unless I remember to have my phone to hand for the text message notification.

    I Have The same problem and
    Nope......I don't seem to have a blue banner showing my balance. Just a list of credit/debit cards I use to pay for items. Could it be my browser that is causing this ? I'm using an Amazon Fire Tablet with Silk browser.

    I get that 2FA too on my account I've been selling on for about 15 years.  It's so irritating as I use my phone to tether my internet to the PC - which is on a short USB cable (as long ones seems to break pretty much straight away!), so I'm always having to bend under the desk just to read a 2FA text message.  Completely pointless and ebay appear completely unwilling to remove it from my account.  The only way I could get around it was to give up and set up a new account - which weirdly this doesn't impost 2FA on me - even though surely newer accounts should be subject to this kind of scrutiny rather than older, trusted accounts with 1000s of feedback.

    I've been a bit lazy so have only just done my first withdrawal request. I was surprised how easy it was, I didn't even have to do the 2FA this time. Clicked on summary, clicked on withdraw and chose my amount (You don't have to withdraw the whole lot if you don't want to) and it said money has been sent. I'll check my bank later to see how quickly it arrives, if indeed it arrives at all today.

    UPDATE
    It came through to my bank almost immediately, so I am very pleased.
