Do you realize that anyone can "reverse payment" AFTER they receive your item? Scammers target new Sellers or anyone selling "high value items" (especially electronics). EBAY will NOT protect you if you get scammed.
If you actually get paid for this, do think twice about sending it to a buyer that is using a freight forwarder (Typically, in Delaware, Miami/Dade, Oregon). Newbie seller + eBay + IPhone + Freight Forwarder = transactions that rarely end well for the seller.
You're a new seller and you sold an $800 iphone. Hopefully you did not take it off the eBay platform and allowed them to access your paypal account, thus sending you a fake invoice. Did they ask you to text them? Accept payments ONLY thru eBay payment method. You should have received a notice in your eBay seller hub stating you need to ship. Note that eBay will hold your funds for up to 30 days to back the Money back Guarantee. The fact that you don't accept returns makes this whole transaction questionable. Sure hope you didn't ship yet. Just sayin....

·2 years agoGo to Seller Hub and check Orders and Orders Awaiting Shipping. If the Order is Awaiting Shipping, you are good to ship.
If the the order is in Orders Awaiting Payment, then the item has not been paid for.

·2 years agoeBay will notify you
Make sure it comes through eBay site to you FROM eBay
Don't text anyone or go offsite because someone said so
You should see payment information in Seller Hub, such as waiting for payment or amount paid.
