Recieving payments

Last night I recieved 2 payments via paypal but only 1 of them is showing up in my ebay as paid. Even though paypal is saying the 2nd payer has paid, should I hold back on posting the item until its saying its been recieved in my ebay too? I've seen better feedback than what this guy has as well.

  • I wouldn't worry about it, sometimes it takes ebay a while to catch up with paypal payments. This has happened to me before but it's sorted itself out soon enough
  • Well it just seems odd why this payment is not coming through into ebay. Its still saying its waiting for payment.

    Today someone else paid for another item and not longer after I got the email from paypal it came up in ebay.

    If you don't go through eBay (clicking on "pay now" for a purchased item) to the Paypal website then eBay will never know that payment has been made.

    You can logon to Paypal direct and make a payment without any eBay connection to the transfer of monies.

    For instance in my case - my Paypal account email address is different to my eBay email address.
    If someone tries to pay via eBay, an email from Paypal arrives asking me to open an account to accept the payment.

    If a buyer pays for an item via paypal without using the link on the invoice it might not show as paid on your ebay page. Always go by what your paypal account says, just before Christmas there was a huge problem with paypal notifications never appearing on ebay.

  • Thanks guys that makes sense.
  • In the past few days I've had one buyer pay via paypal whithout going through ebay so the checkout icon doesn't light.

    And I recieved a cheque from a buyer today who hasn't even completed checkout.
    Titch :)

    I never accept PAYPAL as these can be reversed.

    Cheque, Postal Order, Nochex or Cash for me....
