Buyer does not pay
I sold item. Have not been paid. Ebay tells me I need to ship item first, then I will get paid. I have sent items before, and NEVER got paid! I can send the item. If buyer does not pay, I report buyer to Ebay. Then what? Buyer is reported, and simply opens another Ebay account

Mentor1 year agoThere is a difference between the buyer has not yet paid and eBay has not yet paid you. Once the buyer pays you are expected to ship the item. Since you are a new seller eBay will not pay you until tracking shows the item has been delivered to the buyer. You never ship the item until you see that eBay has shown the buyer has paid for the item.
In order for eBay to pay you you need to have verified your checking account with the Managed Payments System so eBay can make a payout to you. Have you done this?

Have you set up a checking account with eBay so you can be paid?
When you say you weren’t paid, do you mean the buyer never paid, or, do you mean the buyer paid, eBay said it was ok to ship, but the $$ never went into your checking account?

OP1 year agoEbay tells me to ship, and then I will be paid. So basically I have to trust the buyer and Ebay that I won't get screwed again(This happened previously. I reported another buyer. His account was removed from Ebay, so he simply set up another Ebay account) Bank tells me no funds have been added to my bank account. If I am forced to ship the item, I have to hope the buyer actually pays

Mentor1 year agoYou do not get the buyer's SHIP TO address until the buyer pays. That is when ebay tells you to ship. Once tracking shows Delivered, then ebay will release the payout to the checking account you have specified. New sellers and infrequent sellers may have their payouts held for up to 30 days until they become an established seller.

OP1 year agoItem shipped certified mail. Buyer had not received item yet; she opened a dispute. I asked her if she has received the item as of Tuesday June 10. No response. Right now Ebay is not paying me and I do not know if buyer received the item. Tracking number shows item still in transit after almost a week. Looks like I am going to get screwed out of $250.
