When you were constructing your listing you would have came across the managed payments screen telling you the buyers pay into your checking account. I hope you set that up be fore listing.

When buyers check out, they'll select one of the payment methods offered by eBay. The funds will then be sent to your checking account. You can edit your payout settings under Payments in Seller Hub.
thanks. the person who said he would buy an item from me, wanted to pay through paypal. he also wanted me to buy an apple gift card, so i declined. My first time trying to sell on ebay
When buyers go to ebay checkout, one of the options is Paypal. Your buyer is a scammer since he stated he wanted you to purchase a gift card and pay via Paypal.
If the buyer has not paid by day 4, on day 5 the seller can file a Cancellation with the reason Buyer didn't pay. The seller gets his/her FVF credited, the buyer gets an unpaid strike recorded on his account, no one can leave feedback. Two or more unpaid strikes, and the buyer will find it difficult to bid/buy from sellers who block buyers with 2 or more unpaid strikes. Do you have your Buyer Blocks in place?
As a new seller, you are ripe for scammers. List as fixed price with Immediate Payment Required (you will need to switch to the advanced/business tool for that option, which is located in the upper right corner of the Quick Listing Tool), no Best Offers, and your listing will stay active until someone actually pays for the item.
