Just sold my first2 items on eBay :D

:j

It says that PayPal keeps hold of the money I've early for up to 21 dayside I'm a new seller. So do I send theitem and then they'll put the money in my account it does say both buyers have paid.

Also do I just label the item once wrapped myself then take to post office to wieghed then they send etc? Do I ask for proof they've and I've sent the parcel? How do I prove to buyer I've sent

I would of printed a PayPal label but my printer is knackered :(

Sorry totally new to all this many thanks

    I don't know about your Paypal question but about postage - well it depends on how much you've sold the item for. You can send it normal mail (first or second class) and you're covered up to £46 - HOWEVER there are some exceptions (I know tickets and vouchers are some). You MUST ask the post office for proof of postage - it is free.

    Well done OP.

    Have a read of the postage sticky.

    Yes - the funds will be released when the buyers have left positive feedback, any tracking shows as delivered, or 21 days have passed with no disputes raised. This is the same for most sites; I've just joined Amazon, sold about £40 worth of stuff but my money only comes tomorrow.

    As for postage - people have answered that already.

    Best of luck :T.
