Because im selling alot of things on ebay right now and I dont have the money for shipping and no credit card so I need the funds instantly to pay for shipping. I know paypal usually holds the payments sometimes but there was this one time when I sold something and it was an instant payment from the buyer. How do i set the things im selling to only accept instant payments over paypal?
      Answer1:If the buyer pays with credit card or debit card using paypal it is usually available immediately. It is when they pay by check to paypal that it can take 5 days or so. Just refuse to take these payments or let the buyer be aware that you will not ship anything until payment is fully received. Paypal also has a debit card that is easy to get that you can use to pay for your shipping costs.
      Answer2:My only solution would be to contact the buyer and tell them you only accept instant payments (because you can deny someone from buying it), or you could put that you only accept instant payments in your description for the products. Another thing that might help is if you go on ebay and ask the "Answer Center"
