I have just started selling things on ebay and have received paypal payments on the sold items. When I check my paypal account it shows the amounts in pending not available. Do I ship now or do I wait until it is in the available column???? HELP!!!

Wait until the payment clears because if not you could have shipped an item that didn't end up being paid for. I always wait until the money is for sure in the Paypal account and cleared before I ship the item. It is best for you as the seller!

Dont ship yet. Wait until the amount pending goes through. Never ever ship anything without having payment complete in your paypal account.

Well I think you should wait before payment is confirmed, i used to sell on ebay. Is it worth it selling, since I tried several times but I didn't earned a lot since postage here is expensive and ebay charges are expensive too.
