Sellers will need to start looking at their eBay payments account in the same way as they look at their PayPal account. When a buyer's payment clears, your eBay payments account balance will grow in the same way your PayPal balance grows - the order is paid for, and it's time to send (within your regular handling time, that is).

I didn't realise people were failing to make this connection.  I guess when PayPal is accepted as a payment method for just about anything, everyone thinks of it as an online bank of sorts.
