Ebay auction...

Marelli you are absolutely correct.
Over to the left and Withdraw Money is in blue.

Note to self..... don't speak from memory alone !!

Well done, Tegan!
Coolgran65 - is it not 'withdraw money' that Tegan should click on, though, in order to transfer the money into her bank account?

Your PayPal account will be linked to whichever one of your personal accounts that you registered.
Open up your PayPal, go up to the top left where it says transfer money. Click on this and it will open to a transfer page.
I've

Move the money from your PayPal to your linked account.
Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Sofa was collected on the Thursday and money is in my PayPal account...other than not knowing how to access the money an all round success methinks...

Do let us know how it goes !!!

Well done Tegan ! Things can go the other way of course as I have just bought a bike for GS for 99p !! Good for me of course but the seller must be gutted.

A lot of removal companies are glad of part loads on return journeys or do multiple pick-ups and deliveries.

DD bought a bedroom suite at auction in Lincolnshire and quickly found a company doing weekly trips between there and London where she lived.

Tegan Not sure if the courier's been organised yet, but you can find them on eBay itself. I've had a couple of things delivered that way in the past and it was quite easy to arrange. I think I just tapped 'courier' into the search box.

Just to put your mind at rest Tegan. We sold some Victorian dining furniture a couple of years ago, on EBay.

It all went well. The sideboard buyer brought a self drive van and showed me how the sideboard dismantled! Something that I had not known. The table buyer came and wanted to know if he could also have the chairs!
I thought they would be of no interest and, as the were partially upholstered, thought they were only to be dumped!( not fireproof, but horsehair ) He cheerfully paid cash for them.

I'm sure it will all work out well.

That's true. We're really struggling to find a courier to take a table up north so someone who can get a courier very quickly to transport a large item of furniture must be someone who knows what they're doing.

Someone paying that price and sending a courier will be doing it up and selling it on at a profit. I never fret about that sort of buyer Tegan

I'd never make a salesman would I? I go to great lengths to tell people why they shouldn't buy what I'm selling.

They have had plenty of opportunity to look closely at the photos. There have also been questions asked by other people and you've answered them, also explaining that the suite was quite old. Have they put the money in your PayPal account yet? You'll get an email when it goes in.

No. What if they don't like it when they get it? ...

That's even better! Bet you've breathed a sigh of relief!

They're paying by paypal as it will have to be picked up by a courier.

If not Paypal, I would insist on cash, most can get that much cash from a cash machine.

I have a lovely Parker Knoll wooden armed rocker in fairly good condition. A wedding present from one of my father's patients in 1967, but reupholstered and varnished since.

...the possibilities are endless...first of all need to get a new armchair as I'm a chair short now....

Great stuff Tegan! What's next?

Wow Tegan, I bet you're glad you didn't pull the plug on the auction and send it to the tip! Well done - that's pretty good going for an eBay virgin

The help pages on Ebay will tell you what to do. Your inbox will have messages from Ebay and Paypal (not PP if you are taking the money on collection). Just deal with each one in turn, and keep in contact with the buyer about collecting. Don't hand it over until the cash is in your hand, and if it is a cheque, properly speaking it should clear before you hand over the goods. Tricky when you want it collected soon. Most people can be trusted.

....what do I do now??

Is that your sofa that has just sold ? And you didn't expect much for it.

Yay!!! £180!!Well done, Tegan!!
