eBay

when selling an item on ebay does the buyer need any information from me directly? Do they pay me thru ebay?

No, none. Everything that the buyer needs to finish the transaction is shown. Now if the prospective buyer has a question about the item, then yes on communication.

Sounds like if you are going to sell, you need open the help/contact and read up on how and whys of selling on eBay. You need to be signed up in Managed Pay to receive payouts, no money is paid by the buyer directly to you.

The buyer would not need any information from you directly. They can enter their credit card information without any involvement from you. Never, under any circumstance, take the transaction off of eBay by phone or text. Scam artists will send you a fake Paypal payment notification to entice you to ship the package. Always use the Items Awaiting Shipment screen.

You sold one item on the 18th. Hope you had an account set up to receive payment.

Have to assume that buyer understood everything about the item you sold, because you gave almost no information. What are those eggs made out of, for instance?

You really need to read more about selling on eBay if you plan to make this a habit.

Ebay will provide the address for you to ship to when the sale ends. You need not do anything else after other than ship your item.

You should only accept payment via Ebay managed payments, not Paypal or any other way that ebay does not accept. Buyers can pay through paypal however you cannot receive payments from PP. Do not correspond outside the ebay platform. Make sure your account is set up to receive payments as well. If you haven't here's a link to help you out:

Watch out for those who ask you to "text" them. They are most likely scammers.

Try to read up on rules and policies concerning selling here too. New sellers are prime targets for scams.
