Do not ship unless you receive the money first
Ebay is copying other platforms that require the item sold to be shipped first and then the payment arrives to the seller, provided that the buyer gives the go-ahead and decides not to return the item.
Watch out, there are plenty of capricious and fraudulent users.
An appeal to all private sellers: don't ship a single thing if ebay hasn't first deposited the money into your bank account.
Best regards to all

With payments mediated by platforms, Klarna, Paypal or credit cards, fraudulent and capricious customers can easily force you to refund the money even when it has already been deposited into your current account.

Hi Mario, pointless also because the poster defines themselves as private even though they're selling new items in bulk
