I am registered as a buyer but this is the first item I have sold. Do I have to register seperately as a seller, and, if the item is sold, how do I get my money, how do I know they have paid paypal (do I get notified) and how long after they have paid through paypal should I post the item off...help!!!

You don't have to register seperately.
On your ebay summary page exist cfertain icons against each article.
Assuming that you definitely have a paypal account, the paid icon will turn blue.
I try to post as soon as they've paid.
I would not want a punter turnin g up at my house either. (unless I'd sold 'em a car)

Furthermore, I think that you open up a paypal account allied to a bank account. So you can transfer cash between the two.

Log into your ebay account. Click My ebay. Click Summary.
You will see if it has been paid into your paypal account from there. You should also be able to log into your paypal account.

Easy for me to say but I would not want a caller.

If you accept cheques - don't send off until the cheque is in your account and has cleared.

Don't worry about invoices.
The other thing that came to mind, if the (hopefully) George Clooney lookalike collects, then get him to sign for it.

DON'T get involved with printing postage labels!! It's all too much hassle for no help at all.

Maybe he wants to collect to avoid paying the p&p.

Just get the seller details and do your own label.

Yes it is Hyacith, I don't want him to collect it though as I don't want him turning up at my house

I think that by buying the product he has already agreed to pay the P&P.
I don't like the fact that Paypal is "awaiting" payment, D in D.
I can't see your screen . Are you sure that the pound sign is colured blue and no subnotes?

More confusing if too many people get involved.

Good Luck DD. It will all be OK so don't get too stressed about it.

hi devil - important, if buyer wants to pay cash and cash only on collection, then request proof of address, person etc - ask them to show passport, recent letter, etc - and get them to sign for goods.

if you feel uncomfortable, explain you will only send in post and you have no other policy (unless you have already agreed with them) - make sure you arrange a convenient time so as to have other people around - borrow a surly looking neighbour (take car reg No) if you are on your own.

i think you can adjust payment to read as paid should they pay cash on collection.

if your P&P includes wrapping, etc or part of the cost of item, which you want to recoup, then you have to send a poite email stating you only have 'sending in post' policy; and that he will have to adhere to it.

just say the goods are not at your premises, but miles away in storage at your grannies house. so there is no other way for them to have goods, but in post.

and don't be intimidated, feedback is a two way street - if he backs out, i think ebay credits you and relists item.
