Postage and Packages

[boviluk]

Hi

I am new to ebay and working myself into a tizz... I have just sold my first three items, I've been advised cash has been received and I have them ready to go but do I have to use the postage labels or can I just write on the envelope?  Sounds silly but I have stamps that I want to use up! 

Help!

You do not have to use ebays postage labels, you can wite the address yourself and use your stamps,

but first you need to make sure you have received the payments

Log into your paypal account.

What does it say in the 'payment status' column?

You may have to claim the payment

or confirm your email address.

If it says payment received safe to post or something similar you need to post the item.

If it says payment is by e-cheque you will have to wait for the payment to clear before you send your item.

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

New and returning sellers are subject to a hold on the payments but they show in your paypal account as held.

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