So I've searched the forum since this feels kind of Groundhog Dayish..
Buyers are instantly paying.
eBid say the postage charge is showing on the initial email.
Buyer pays immediately in PayPal without me getting a chance to send a reinforced invoice for singular item purchase.
Then I notice that in PayPal, the shipping hasn't been paid for and shows up as zero.
I haven't changed anything in eBid or PayPal. I've tried eBid's support answer which says, "In Paypal Under Selling Preferences, click on Shipping Calculations, you begin Shipping set up. You will see 2 choices Domestic and International [No I don't!] Under Edit choose Yes. They both have to be set to Yes to be set to work with eBid."[so what now then?]
I recall that paragraph at the bottom to tick/untick overriding but it doesn't seem to make any difference what I do in Paypal - this is what it always shows:
Postage calculations
Allow postage to be automatically calculated on my sales.
Click here to allow transaction-based postage values to override the profile postage settings listed above (if profile settings are enabled).
Any ideas or similar experiences from other sellers over the last few days?
I've contacted PayPal Support (but they directed me to Merchant Services where I feel this is where eBid guys is representing, not me personally) so we shall see of the email outcome in the meantime
