hey guys, im really new to selling on ebay

someone just bid on an item that i had listed and i accepted.
ive only sold a few items on ebay throughout the years but the past ones ive done, the buyer paid for the shipping label. i only had to print it out and put it on the package upon shipping

for the item i just accept, there is no option to print out the label like what ive done in the past. it just says 'awaiting for payment' and option to send him an invoice. it looks like the shipping fee was added along with the bid amount

what do i do? i dont want to make a mistake. do i get the shipping label like last time or what? thanks for the help

Yes this is how it works. Buyer is still paying for the label. Say your item was sold for $5 with $4 shipping, paid by buyer. You will receive $9 in your account. You get your $5 for your item and you get the $4 for shipping. That is why you then purchase the shipping label. It's an in and out type for the label. Make sense? Congrats on your sale and here's to many more. Best of luck to you....

Sounds like the buyer hasn't paid for the item yet? So don't ship until you get a confirmation email that it's paid. Then you should be able to print your label.
