Part 10: I won an auction! What now?


Answer: follow some easy steps to submit payment.

Shortly after you have won an auction, or ended it with “Buy it now”, you will receive an email invoice for your purchase. Conveniently located right within that invoice should be a large yellow “Pay Now” button. Click on it and it will take you through the motions of sending the payment through PayPal.

Alternatively, you may go through your eBay account, click on "My eBay" at the top of the screen, and it will display that "you need to pay for 1 item". Click on that link, and then choose the "submit payment" link that will appear on your screen. Follow the steps, including logging in with your email address and PayPal password.

After you have made the payment, you will receive a receipt in your email confirming that the payment has been sent to the seller. The seller also gets an email notification of your payment, and he will proceed to ship the item to you. Most likely, you will soon receive a follow-up message from the seller that your item is on its way.

As you will discover for yourself, making PayPal payments is indeed a very easy process. No more sending checks or money orders via snail mail, or typing in your credit card details, and no more stamps and trips to the post office! The convenience of using a PayPal account is why 96 million people use PayPal every day. Easy to set up, easy to use, and it saves you a whole lot of time, an always hot commodity nobody can put the price on!
