Do I post my item when payment reaches my PayPal account or once I receive it in my bank account using the 'withdraw' tool in Paypal?

[bribay88]

I'm new to ebay and wondering if I post my item once I get the email notification that payment has been received thru paypal.  Or, after using 'withdraw' and waiting for the payment to arrive in my bank account?

You post the item once you have the money in your paypal account.

Check the account to see that there are cleared funds in there.  If the buyer has paid with an echeque there will be a notice that the payment is Pending....do not post until it is cleared.

You do not have to withdraw the funds to your bank account immediately....you can leave it in your paypal account if you want to use it to buy.
