Coming up to another ebay quarterly payout

So as above we are coming up to another ebay payout of whatever is in your seller account at the end of September.
I like to keep a few hundred pounds in my account for buying and to keep my ebay activity separate from the rest of my finances so having that balance paid out is a pain in the !!!!!!.
Is there anyway to avoid this or to pay it back in?

    There’s no way round it, and frankly I wouldn’t leave any balance in there for very long. I prefer to keep my own money safe and not trust anyone else with it that can close accounts and deem a seller unsuitable nearly at will.

    Could you not have it paid into a different account?  I have my Ebay money paid into a savings account rather than my main current account.

    Swagbucks ~ £155 (2024 ~ £395)
    Surveys ~ £167.59 (2024 ~ £280.14)

    Yes, i have a separate bank account for my ebay profits but i like to buy stuff using a balance in my ebay account but when it goes to zero i have to use my current account for a short amount of time before building a balance again.
