    Question I just sold an item and got a Paypal payment

    Hello everyone,

    I just sold an iPhone 4S and got a payment via Paypal. I checked the payment and it is pending. Paypal recommends to wait until the payment gets cleared before shipping the item.

    How do I proceed now?

    Thank you in advance for your advice.

    If it is a legitimate buyer then email to check that they know their payment is pending and to reassure them that you will send as soon as their payment has been cleared by Paypal. They can't expect you to send before you have the payment. As Sid has said, for an expensive item do make sure you get it tracked and signed for.

    In the case of eChecks, I usually thank the buyer for their payment by eCheck and advise them that I'll ship as soon as PayPal advises that it has cleared and is okay for me to ship.

    Seller beware!
    Selling iPhones on the internet is a scam magnet.
    If you get another email from PayPal telling you that the payment has cleared and it's OK to ship, go straight to your PayPal account to verify.
    Scammers send false emails out trying to catch you out hoping that you will ship before payment clears.
    If that happens then the buyer will cancel the pending payment and you will have lost your phone.
    But it doesn't end there, once you ship your phone you might get a returns request stating that it's faulty, do not send a refund until you get the item back, no item returned = no refund.
    Even then you might not get your phone back, you might get an old wrecked phone or a piece of wood!.
    Sorry to be so negative about this, but you need to be aware,
    I do hope that everything works out for you.
    Please keep us unformed.

    Thank you all for your answers!!

    It looks like the buyer had some issues, because eBid cancelled the account. So my problem is solved, the sale is cancelled too.

    Thanks
