Hi many thanks for your reply.
It seems I got confused, when I opened the order and selected purchase postage label the cost was taken from my ebay funds, I have since received an email to state I will receive a refund back to my method of payment - my ebay funds.
The buyer didn't purchase a label and send it to me, just the postage cost was added to his total.
Item ready to go with postage purchased not via ebay.
