Keep in mind that all earnings from ebay will be withheld in PayPal for up to 21 days or until the buyer leaves positive feedback - this includes postage costs too! If you don't know to expect it, it can be a real struggle depending on what you are selling or weight of items etc. and leave you with postage costs you never anticipated. You can use the 'print postage label' within PayPal (not ebay!) to cover postage costs before the balance is released if needed. I say 'use paypal' for printing postage labels and not ebay, the reason for this is that I am currently trying to get ebay to release postage costs incurred, but they deny this as being in their policies - where as paypal released postage costs within 4-6 hours of purchase! This is despite it clearly being stated on both ebay and paypal. Good luck with your selling and hope it all goes well for you.
