I was notified of a sale and that the buyer had paid but the money has not been received in my PayPal account. I have messaged the buyer (twice) to inform them that payment has not been received but they have not returned these messages. What happens next? I will not post item without payment but is it SOLD and paid for according to eBay.

And then several days later they own up to having received the money and will send it on to us minus their fees of course in a day or so.
Further to this they are charging us the paypal 3.5% even though the money doesn't go to paypal at all but eventually , to our bank account perhaps 5 or 6 days after the payment was made.
Am I just being picky about this or do others think even by eBay standards this is over the top.
Under managed payments, it is not hard to figure out when you have been payed, where the money actually is, and when it will actually be in your bank account. There is basicly no change to the total fees and instead of new sellers having funds held in paypal for 21 days, they are held for 30 days under managed payments.
Note. ebay do not have to own up to where the money is, because that information is allready available to you, and as for them taking the fees at time of sale, I think most would see that as a positive, rather than making sure you still have the funds available to pay your old monthly invoice.
