eBay payment notifications?

Hi all,

I made my first ever sale on eBay yesterday, and I sent an invoice to the winning bidder.

My question is: how do I know when they have paid me? Does eBay or Paypal send me an e-mail, or do I simply have to keep checking the websites (if so, where am I checking?)

This bidder has 100% feedback, and many have commented on their quick payment, so I am a bit worried that they have paid me already and that I am completely niave of it. I want to post their item asap when payment comes through, as for a first sale the feedback is pretty important.

Am I just fretting? Any advice?

Thanks,
K x

    All being well, it should show up in My Ebay and it will definitely show up in paypal. You should also get a notification email from paypal, but don't count on it, and remember that some people try to fake these emails... so if in doubt, check your pp account. :)

    sometimes the emails take a while to come through, if they are paying by paypal you could check your paypal account, see if the money is in there..
