    You do not ship until they pay...then Paypal holds it until they (Paypal) is satisfied that your customer is satisfied. As mentioned above there are several different scenario that can release your money from Paypal. This hold thing is fairly new. You also get a bit of a discount if you buy the postage from Ebay and it automatically updates the tracking numbers as well as send an email to the customer that item has shipped.

    The buyer pays Paypal, Ebay puts a hold on the funds, until it is delivered, but they will allow you to use up to 15.00 for shipping (I think only if you use the online shipping). I was not aware of that fact, because I don't sell that often, I have been with ebay since 1995 and never had a problem. Well here I am twenty days later and still haven't received my funds......We will see Monday if I will get paid.....I just didn't want anyone else to get caught off guard like I did.

    And this leaving feed back what happens if I don't leave feed back does ebay come knocking on my door asking for the Stuff Purchased Back because I didn't leave feed back?
    This only applies to the seller. If you don't give a delivery confirmation number to ebay and the buyer doesn't leave feedback then they will hold them funds for 21 days. Also, this only applies to sellers with under 100 feedbacks

    As a Buyer you only have to pay Paypal thats all.

    Here's a screenshot of an order I'm getting ready to send out Mon. I print out the shipping label and I get a few cents discount on the shipping using the ebay system. It will add the tracking # and automatically send an email w/ tracking # to my customer.
    Here is the shipping label I just bought; it took it automatically out of my paypal. I just print it and glue it on my package and it's ready to go; If I was lazy I could call USPS and the mailman would pick my packages up.

    Everyplace the package goes, they (USPS) scans the barcode and at any time, me or my customer can click on the tracking # and see where the package is at.

    So, if I understand you correctly, if I use ebay.com shopping process, they will unfreeze up to $15 that I can use towards shipping correct?

    Thanks...yeah, I most likely would take advantage of that, just to save time at the postal office.

    Every time I've used USPS tracking the item arrives long before any tracking activity shows up.

    Must be that government efficiency I am always hearing about...

    I have had the same issue. Unfortunately, only works when the employees are not to lazy and actually scan the packages

    It did come in real handy when one of my orders did not show up at the customers and he messaged me about it. I checked the # and it said out for delivery. Told the customer, and his post office said no, it's not. Waited a couple of days, and it still said out for delivery. I went to my post office and filed a complaint, and the postmaster called to their post office and basically told them to check their dam* delivery vehicle. Sure enough it had been riding around in the truck for over a week.

    lol. nah. While I don't know him all that well, I get the feeling he actually does his job. Above and beyond even.

    George, the tracking eventually updates so I dunno what they're doing.

    UPS is usually spot on for me. At 11:42 it arrived at XYZ. At 8:39 it arrived at ABC. At 7:32 it went out for delivery. Etc.

    This might give you an idea of how it works, that way a customer cannot say that he did not get his shipment.
