Once the listing has ended and you’ve got a buyer, you’ll both receive confirmation through youreBay account.
Never post an item if you haven’t received payment. If they’re paying by cheque this means waiting until the cheque has cleared and the money is in your account.
You’ll then get an invoice from eBay for your final value fees. Your fees will then be deducted from your account no sooner than 15 days after you received an invoice.
Alternatively you can make one-time payments via direct debit, credit card, or with a cheque or postal order (although the latter is tedious and more expensive).Any account balance over £1 requires payment in full each month. If you don’t pay after reminders and warnings, eBay will freeze your account and then send the bailiffs in.
If you don’t sell the item then you won’t have any final value fees to pay and you can relist your item for free (as long as it sells the second time – then you’ll get the second relisting fee refunded).
Once the transaction is complete your buyer will leave feedback that will have an impact on your feedback score, so it’s up to you to make sure it’s all positive. Buyers will leave you a 1-5 star detailed seller rating on item description, communication, dispatch speed, and fairness of shipping charges.
Remember: if you establish yourself as highly-rated seller, you’ll be all the more likely to attract new customers and ensure loyalty from those who have bought from you in the past.
