I'm a first time seller on ebay. i have a question?

Question

how do you get the persons address after they have won the item? and how do you know they've payed?

thanks!

Answer 1

if you're using paypal, you will get an email at the email address linked to your paypal account. that will have the payment details.

log into your paypal account to see the payment details including the shipping address.

if you're asking the person to send you a check or money order, they'll include it with the check or money order. You can always email the buyer for this information as well.

I would NOT recommend accepting a check. sign up for a paypal account and link it to your ebay account for the easiest way to accept $.

Answer 2

You will receive notification from paypal (if you accept paypal) of their payment & it will give you their address.  Otherwise, when they send cheque/postal orders they will send their address with it.

Answer 3

If they pay you via paypal then you'll get a noticication via email that they have done so.  

The address will be on the notification email.

If they are going to pay by cheque they'll usually send you a email saying 'I am going to pay by cheque' and the address will be on that.  

It's also on the 'Fred Bloggs won this item' notification you get letting you know your item sold.

On the 'my eBay' page on the right there are some symbols. When 'Trolley' comes on customer has finalised the sale, when £ comes on you have been paid, hover over it with mouse, and it will say how the customer is paying. You can send the customer an invoice if non of the above has happened, you will then see their address details, you will also see these details if after payment on the 'action' column you scroll down to 'view order details' .
