The money never goes near eBay...payments go direct to Paypal
• As a new infrequent or returning seller seller your first few payments are subject to a 21 day security hold
• This is to ensure you are genuine & have the items you advertised for sale
•
• When you look in Paypal (all activity) and it says "pending OK to send" then you must send the item
•
• Your funds will be held for 21 days in order to allow you to send the goods, for them to arrive & be checked by the buyer & for any possible issues to be resolved
•
• This process can be accelerated to just 7 days if you send the item by a tracked service with online delivery confirmation. When you add the tracking number to eBay & Paypal & it shows delivered then on day 8 the funds are released
