I've been online since 1995 and still can't do a screenshot.
Do you have a Paypal account?
When you are paid PP will send you an email saying so.
Don't trust it. (There are scams .... don't worry about those.)
Go to your PP account.
Click on your buyer's name on the list of Payments Received.
That will give you a complete rundown of your payment received, the buyer's address (including her email) , and your PP fees.
- In the top right hand corner there is a Print link.
- That gives you a shortened, b&w copy for your records.
At the bottom of the page is a link that gives you the option to print a packing slip and a Shipping Label.
PP has a deal with the PO that gives you discounts from the counter price of postage. So use the label.
- EBay is switching in the near future to a company called Shippo (and doesn't that sound legit, kiddies?) so this may change soon.
As mentioned above, do NOT ship until you see that PP is Holding your cleared payment.
Now, to complicate things, PP is going to Hold your customer's payment until they are satisfied that as a newbie you are providing good customer service. You can use those Held funds to print the label, but it will be a while before the rest of the money comes available. (A full 21 days here in Canada, less for US-based sellers.)
Don't Panic!
It will be released.
Use the Held funds to print your shipping label and get your first sale into the mail ASAP.
And best wishes for a successful new career.
