urgent ebay/paypal

my fone sold under the reserver for 96quid, when i logged into paypal it says the amount,however i chose to out this money into my bank account. if the money is in the paypal account the bidder has sent it? is that right! i am packaging up the phone now and im sending it 2morrow as soon as i know that the money has def been sent to my paypal... should i wait until3-5 days until it clears into my account or send it 2m as i THINK because the amount is in my paypal then the bidder has sent it? im confused:

*wait untill the money is in my bank account FROM paypal
*or send tomorrow as this is nothing to do with the bidder??

ps i said on my listing that i would dispatch after one day so if i wait untill 3-5days im i contradicting the one day disptaching theory??

    When your paypal account says you have the money "You have the money" Sometimes you have to accept payment otherwise it will just say completed next to the transaction.

    You could spend that money now on eBay or other website. Paypal is like an online piggy bank you just havn't taken the money down the bank yet.

    So send the guy his phone hes done his bit.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi, If the balance is showing in your paypal account then you have received it! should be safe enough to send the phone....unless it says uncleared but it wouldn't show it in the overall balance if it hasn't cleared! :)

  • If the buyer has sent funds to your PayPal account and the money was there before you chose to withdraw it to your bank account then that is fine-they have paid. You can't expect the buyer to wait until it clears into your bank account because that isn't their problem.

    I would post the item tomorrow.

    Link shows NO SALE as your reserve was not met.
    What are you on about?

    STOP - DO NOT SEND ANYTHING YET!

    Check MyEbay to confirm a sale.
    Look at unsold items.

    if reserve is not met - then there is no sale.

    oh - ok!
    If it shows as paid on paypal, then should be alright.
    If paypal says his address is "confirmed" should be ok.
