Sold my first items questions

[hunts with son]

I have 6 listings ending today, and one just ended. My question is do I send an invoice now, wait a bit, or wait until I receive payment? What is the normal process for contacting the buyer?

Any and all info is appreciated.

Thanks, Paul

Ebay automatically notifies buyers that they have won an item. I don't even send invoices unless the buyer has won multiple auctions and I have to revise the shipping amount, or if the buyer hasn't paid after 2 days, I will send a reminder to them. That's just me, don't know about anyone else.

Send the invoice as soon as item ends. Good luck on your auctions.

Thank you both for the info!

Can't really go wrong either way. A lot of the times I've found buyers make immediate payment before you even have the chance to send an invoice. I basically do what diggummup said: send an invoice if the buyer purchased multiple items from you so that you can include the discounted shipping rate. If the buyer doesn't pay within the same day, I will then send an invoice.

Thanks again.

I have a question on the invoice. When I click on it, it does not show a total for the item and shipping. Do I add it together and put the total in the last box or does the total show automatically when the invoice is sent to the buyer?

I send a invoice as soon as it sells … even if they pay right away i always get a invoice out as soon as i can .. most like the invoice…Even if they know they won and paid already...

If you look close you will see were it tells you to click on preview invoice then it will show shipping cost to you...
