Do you pay before or after an item is shipped on Ebay? -

Hi I have been trying ebay for the first time, and I keep getting the comment Thank-you for the quick payment! . I was wondering if maybe I should wait until the item is shipped before I pay. Is that the standard practice? I haven t had any problems, but I was just wondering if maybe I am not doing things right.

You have to pay first before seller ships the item. Use PayPal to be protected in case of problems with the seller. Take note that items should be delivered one week and if stilll you haven t received it, you can request refund with PayPal in 45 days from payment.

You MUST pay before your item ships. Sellers will not, and are not required to, ship before they receive payment. Thank you for the quick payment is just a FB that the seller has given. It shows they appreciate your timely payment--sellers do not neccessarily enjoy waiting around for a buyer to pay. In many cases, there is not much else for a seller to comment on about a buyer, so that is why they say it.

You *must* pay before, same as in the store. You pay and then they hand you your stuff. Even more since its long distance, they wanna know they are gonna get their money before they part with their items.

Noone is going to ship you an item without you paying for it first.

pay before , pay using PayPal were you got a leg incase you need to dispute the transaction. I ve sol all over the world
