Hi
I’m new to selling on Ebay. I sold a PA system yesterday (collection only) but not sure what happens now.
I have the Ebay app and all details are sorted and assumed that payment would arrive. Just wondering how it works.
Any help appreciated.

how did you specify payment in your listing? paypal, cash on collection,etc. if you didn't , then send the buyer a message asking how they intend paying for said item.1

Hi, if eBay have advised you that the item's been sold, they should also, if they haven't already, be telling you that the buyer has paid and you can arrange for the buyer to collect the item. Payment should arrive soon. And if it doesn't then obviously, don't arrange any collection.
However, please do be careful to always contact the buyer via the eBay emailing system and don't go rogue. Then, if anything should go wrong, you'll be covered by eBay's 100% money back guarantee.Please note - taken from the Forum Rules and amended for my own personal use (with thanks) : It is up to you to investigate, check, double-check and check yet again before you make any decisions or take any action based on any information you glean from any of my posts.

Didn't specify as I thought Ebay was
money transfer only via their system.
paypal has not been an option for sellers for some time now.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Well the item's sold but that's as far as it's got.
Very slow communication via messages but possible collection next weekend. I do have PayPal but cash on collection would be easier.
Just not sure if winning a bid is legally binding.

Technically it is legally binding, but ebayers range between the scrupulously reliable and the absolute ar*e in my 20 years of experience.
For collections items, it's always best to state what time period you will allow for the collection so you can cancel & relist if you end up with a timewaster.1 -

I don’t think it’s happening. No response to messages.
Another bidder was in contact and was enquiring about sending a courier to collect it.
I may get back in touch and I guess if it’s a distance sale, paying through Ebay would be best.
