Firstly is it a private or an ebay sale.

Secondly is the cost of the item pricy as lots of scams around.

Thirdly NEVER EVER SEND the item until the payment is showing in your paypal transaction history.....if you are a new seller you may be subject to the 21 day payment hold but you will still see the funds showing in your paypal balance.

When the funds have cleared you can click on the "withdraw funds" tab and send them to any bank account you have linked and verified to your paypal account.....you can't withdraw to a c.c. or debit card.

Lastly read up on seller protection if you are selling items then you can make an informed choice on what risks you want to take.
