about

I joined this site when I was very young (hence the ridiculous username) but now I feel I'mn old enough to give out advice.

Ask me anytime. I have had my fair shares of family issues, as well as good at solving relationship problems.

I'm also asked this question about Ebay; http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=599462

When I buy things from a seller on Ebay, do I need to message them after I've paid with Paypal or will they get an automatic message saying I paid?

Also, when somebody buys something from me and pays, should I send them a message telling them I've shipped their item once I have?

Lastly, what about shipping? I mostly will be selling clothes nd I've ordered these envelopes from UPS to ship them in, but is there anything else I should do with packaging?



Hi, you don't need to send a message to say you have payed. They will recieve an automatic message as well as seeing the money in their paypal account.

Once you have shipped the item, you should message them to let them know but also you can mark the item as dispatched - and then they will recieve an auto message.

If the clothes will fit in the envelopes then great, if you are selling delicate items that could break wrap them in extra tissue or bubble wrap. To save money I send my items in bin liners, its cheaper to buy.

Regarding you other questions

When they buy an item off you, the Postage and Packaging fee is included and therefore they pay for the whole thing, so you dont need to tell them to pay for it, because ebay automatically combines the price of the item and postage together.

When I post an item to sell I always tell them to pay within three days, around how long it will take to get to them and what kind of people can bid ( in the sense of only UK bidders only, as I am from the uk I don't want to be sending stuff to other countries)People will buy from you - they NEED and WANT to know what the conditions are when they buy your item so its fine.

Message me for more info

good luck
