Hi
Do sellers receive their payment as soon as the buyers pay, or do they have to wait for successful tracked delivery confirmation?
The reason I ask is because I’ve had 2 items recently that the seller has only provided a tracking number which only says ‘we are waiting for the parcel’ ie. it’s not been dropped off or collected by Royal Mail, does providing a tracking number only, enable them to receive my payment?
Thanks
