When to ship the item after it is sold

[mcdonald73]

Hey Everyone,

It's been a while since I have sold something on ebay and I seem to be a bit confused about something.

First, let me say I understand that I pay for Insurance and do not pass that onto the seller.

Back in the day when I sold an item, I would receive funds into Paypal and immediately send it my bank.

But now, Paypal is gone and you connect your bank directly to ebay, I get that.

So, my item sold yesterday and the funds seem to be on hold (it does show it on ebay) and ebay states my funds will be available 3 days after the buyer receives the item and makes sure it's good.

So, is that how it works now? I have to first ship it out and once the buyer receives the item, then ebay will actually transfer the funds to my bank account?

Or do I wait first for the funds to appear in my bank account and then ship? This is how I thought the process would work.

Any feedback is appreciated.

So the item was delivered and I received my funds a few days later.

Thanks for everyone's feedback and you some of you stated, I was just jumping the gun.

I see how things work with Ebay.

Now onto my next sell (hopefully 😁)

Thnx
