How do I receive an Ebay payment through Paypal?

Question

I sold an item on Ebay and the customer said she sent the payment, and it says that she initiated payment through pay pal and there is a link that says "Receive payment here" or something like that. But then when I click the link it sends me to a PayPal sign up page. I already have an account. But it says you have to upgrade to receive payment. So I upgrade my paypal account and it still isn't showing any payment from anyone. So I'm confused. Can someone please help me?!!!

Go back to the email.  Look at the email address very, very carefully.  I believe you have some sort of typo.

The bit about the "upgrading your account" is because your customer paid you with a credit card and your account wasn't set up to receive credit card payments. (This was something you should have done before listing an item for sale.)
