Accepting an Offer through Messages

[searchingandselling2]

I received an offer on a fix d price.    The offer was sent theough my messages.  I accepted the offer.   Can anyone tell me what the next step is?

I'm not sure that will work - if you have "Best offer" on the listing, and instead they made an offer through Messages it could be a scam. Tell them to make an Offer on the listing.

Is this a new buyer with no feedback, or do they have some buying history?

The Best Offer option does not go through Ebay messaging....it must be made from the listing page. Tell the buyer to click on the big blue Best Offer button on the listing page (if it is there). When you accept the official Ebay offer, then all the buyer has to do is pay for their purchase.
