View Payment History and Details
Step1
Find the item of interest in the "Items I've Won" or "Items I've Sold" sections in "My eBay."
Step2
Use the drop-down menu in the "Action" column next to the item description and select "View Payment Details" to see information about the status of item payment.

Find your payment by looking through the transactions or applying a search filter.

Use PayPal as an eBay Seller
Step1
Pay your eBay seller's fees by automatic deduction or via a one-time payment from PayPal. In "My eBay," click on the "Seller Account" link, and then make your choice on the "Seller Account Summary" page.
Step2
Use PayPal as an immediate payment option on your listings. If you have a business or premier account, you can choose to use the immediate payment option so that buyers are automatically directed to a PayPal payment page when they purchase one of your products.
Step3
Ship items via PayPal by selecting "Ship Item" on the drop-down menu in the "Action" column. You will be prompted to log in to your PayPal account, after which a page with all the shipping details will open. Enter all the relevant information, have the postage deducted from your account and print a shipping label.
