• Answer:

  Heya, you will receive an email informing you of the winning bidder and their address. You will then receive another email telling you when they have paid their money and PayPal has received it. When this has been done, you can either wait the 5-7 working days PayPal take to transfer the money into your bank account and then post it, or post it straight away if you can afford it, which most buyers prefer. However, don't send anything until the money is at least in PayPal. You will need to wrap the item yourself. Depending on the size, you can either use a jiffy envelope (an envelope with bubblewrap inside) which are available in a few sizes from your Post Office, or you can warp it separately (I would recommend always using bubblewrap then brown paper and parcel tape, all which can be bought cheaply at your Post Office). You then write the address on, and take it to the counter at the Post Office and tell them that you want to send it 1st/2nd class (whatever the buyer has paid for), they will then weigh the parcel and charge you according to the weight. Hope I helped xx
