nonpony related- first ebay selling

[Sweetheart]

Hi guys. I just recently sold my first ebay item yesterday. But I'm a little confused how to continue. Do I take the box to the post office and ship it? And then I'm allowed to access the money with the shipping ID? My paypal isn't connected to my ebay, so how would I get the money? Sorry for the silly questions!

Congratulations on your first sale!

I am curious though how were you able to list and accept payment if your Paypal account is not linked to your eBay. It's mandatory?

I thought so too. It was really weird. I disconnected my account about a week or so before placing the item for bid (due to security/current credit card concerns), and it didn't ask for anything regarding it. Please tell me, I didn't screw up the system ;n;

I highly doubt you broke the system  Also I see your profile says you are seventeen, you must be 18 to have a valid eBay account. How did you get around that? Is it your parents account?

Yeah it's my moms. She let me sell an old doll of mine on there.
