24 hour hold

I don’t sell on eBay very often. But put some bits up this week. One sold for £40 but just received an email from PayPal saying the money in on hold for 24 hours while they check the person who owns the account payed. 

Fair enough but the dispatch address in the email from PayPal is completely is different to the dispatch address on eBay in the buyers details. 

Not sure If I should be worried or not?

    Always send to the PayPal address as that’s the one with the seller protection. My registered address on eBay on my buying account is not necessarily where I have the items sent as I often send items direct to family. 

    Just wait until PayPal say ‘ OK to send’ .
