Collection code

[pam7071]

I bought an item this morning and paid immediately with PayPal. The item was fairly local and I arranged to collect it within 3 hours. 

The seller has messaged me asking for a ‘collection code’ from eBay because he hasn’t received payment yet. 

I have no idea what he means. PayPal shows that money has been taken from my bank account. I have suggested that it might take 24 hours for the money to be transferred to him. 

Does anyone know anything about such codes? And, am I correct in assuming it might take a few hours for money transfer?

He is probably on managed payments where ebay take the payment and then take off their fees and pay the rest into the sellers bank. It can take a few days but they will see all details on the Seller HUb under Payments

It has nothing to do with the code that is to prove you collected.

They can mark it as Dispatched on the Seller hub under Orders it is on the drop down list

If they are a new seller then their money could be on the 21 days hold for all new or inferquent sellers

Ebay do say they send a code but many dont get it.
