Oh boy am I nervous

Congratulations...it's a rush isn't it
So far so good. Ebay does NOT automatically send invoices, not sure abiout Auctiva because I don't use their checkout. I always send one because people seem to expect it, especially new members. Don't worry yet about the one that ended on Fri, it's the weekend and alot of folks aren't at their computers. You can send another invoice about day 5 if you still haven't heard anything. (That's what I do)

One thing...Usually My Ebay will tell you all you need to know but it CAN be glitchy. If you're unsure if you've recieved payment or not go directly to Paypal and check there. If it's there, it's paid and you can ship. You'll also get an email from PP saying You've recieved an instant payment, blah blah blah.

Good luck

eBay doesn't send out invoices automatically but they do send out a "you won ebay item" email automatically... and there's no way you can turn that off - it's not optional.

I also prefer sending out my own emails but when I do my buyer is actually bombarded with 3 emails after a buy. That has to be confusing! eBay's which is not helpful at all because it's so full of ebay promo stuff... and Pay Now etc. etc.

I don't want my people to Pay Now until they get MY personal email and info that I know is correct - not always the case with eBay's.

The Auctiva one at least allows us to pretty much say what we want in it and provides our buyer and seller email addresses up front - but still would rather only have one going out... from me. Still - if using the Auctiva one helps keep it free, don't want to turn it off.

Just wish there was some way I could turn eBay's off.
