You should be able to confirm the postage from the buyer's postcode. The buyer should confirm their address when they complete Checkout. You will receive an email notification when your buyer completes Checkout. If you cannot confirm the total due (buyer's address required), please contact the buyer first.


Using the default bank account, payment and postage details

You can add default information such as your payment methods, bank deposit details and postage settings etc in your Selling Preferences.


Multiple Items

Multiple items from one buyer will be added to one invoice so you don't have to send an invoice for each item separately (if invoice not already sent). You can offer a discount on postage for multiple items.


View Invoice

You can view an invoice you previously sent from by selecting 'View Invoice' from the 'Action' link. This will show you the buyers address, payment method, items purchased and totals.


Resend Invoice

You can send a new invoice to the buyer by selecting 'Resend Invoice' from the the 'Action' link. This allows you to create and send a new invoice. For example: You may want to send a new invoice if the buyer decides to purchase additional items.


Completed items showing in invoice

If you see items you have already posted in a new invoice (item invoice was not previously sent) you can do either of the following.

  • Deselect the items already sent and send the new invoice with new items only.
  • Select only the already sent items and send an invoice to the buyer, then send another invoice for the new items.
  • Send an invoice with all items to the buyer.

Cancel Invoice

You can cancel a sent invoice, this will place the items on the invoice back into 'Pending Invoices'.


Remove Invoice

An invoice can be removed permanently by using the 'Remove Invoice' function.


Incorrect amounts shown on PayPal after completing checkout on quicksales

If this happens, the seller may have setup default Postage and or Tax amounts in PayPal. Please ensure you turn these settings off. More Information
