This looked like a dogs only thread at first!

I've never heard of payment reviews before. If it's a new thing I think they should make us aware of it. How annoying would it be if the item had already been posted and then payment was reversed.

What is Payment Review?

Payment Review is an automatic early warning system that alerts sellers to potentially fraudulent payments. It relies on the vast amounts of payment data in our systems, our experience in sophisticated fraud modeling and the collective expertise of our fraud agents.

How it works

If our systems spot a high-risk payment, we’ll send you an email alert within minutes to advise that payment has been interrupted, pending investigation. A Payment Review investigation typically takes up to 24 hours to complete.

If we determine that the payment is most likely legitimate, we'll let you know via email and on the Transaction Details page that you can send the item to the buyer. The payment may still be subject to a reversal or chargeback but it will remain eligible under the Seller Protection Policy, provided the transaction is eligible. (Learn more about standard eligibility requirements.)

If we determine that the payment is most likely fraudulent, the payment will be automatically cancelled.

Payment Review is automatic; there’s no need to opt in.
