New and returning sellers are subject to a hold on the payments but the payment goes directly to your paypal account and shows as held/pending.

Log into your paypal account.


You may have to claim the payment


or confirm your email address.

 

If the payment isn't showing in paypal and the email address that was used for ebay is different to the one you use for paypal you will need to add the ebay email address to your 'profile' in paypal.


if you have left it longer than 30 days the money will have been returned to the buyers and you will need to contact them and ask them to repay.


Never post the item until you see the payment in your paypal account.

 


if you used tracking the funds will be released about three days after the tracking shows as delivered, if you didn't use tracking and the buyer leaves feedback it will be released about 4 days after the estimated delivery date,


if you didn't use tracking and the buyer doesn't leave feedback, you will have to wait 21 days.

EBay aren't responsible. You should have made sure you had been Paid before Sending  it.  As a New Seller your Funds would of been on a 21 day Hold unless you added a Tracking Number which would have confirmed Delivery.
