First time postage issues

by henrysmum in Selling on eBay

Hi,   I am a returning user to Paypal and ebay selling and it has changed lots since a few years ago. I have just sold my first batch of items on ebay and one buyer has paid already. I have been directed through to paypal to print off a postage label, do I have to do this through Paypal can I not just go to my local post office and send it there like i used to do many years ago when I sold on ebay. It also states that my money will be held for upto 21 days, if i am allowed to post from my local office will this affect the way I get my money or is this just based on the feedback and recieving of the items at the buyers end? Please help, any information would be grately appreciated.   Many thanks ... View more
