Do I have to wait for the payment to ship my item?

It takes approximately 20 or so days for the payment be deposited in your PayPal account, and be made available for you to use.

Never ship based on your My eBay page.

Always login to PayPal.

Here's what others are saying:

You must see OK to SHIP on the Details page.

You must ship to the address given on the PayPal Details page, if it differs from eBay. You must verify this every time.

My eBay can be wrong or delayed and the same goes for emails.

Login to PayPal. If it shows OK to SHIP then YES you do ship!

You are subject to new seller hold and that is the only time pending payments are still good to ship but you must login to be sure. Such payments will say Funds Not Yet Available on PayPal status. My eBay should show paid though.

Sometimes buyers pay via echeque and shipping is after clearing.
