Clearing a selling reminder and claiming proceeds

[Toppy]

I am pretty new to selling on eBay and really need some help

I have recently sold 3 items and have posted them all off, have given and received feedback. I have not claimed my proceeds yet.
In My eBay I have three selling reminders that I need to post three items. How do I clear these or mark my sale as complete?

Also I am unsure how money works as a seller - eBay invoiced me for the month. I think it has automatically taken the fees and commission from my proceeds - is this what happens?
I intend to sell a few more items over the coming months abd was thinking of just lleaving the money in myeBay account in case I forget I owe eBay. There will always bee some money there for them to takes fees from. Is this what other sellers do ?

Any advice very much appreciated

I'm not sure about how to clear the posting reminders, I assume you didn't do it through paypal and the royal mail website? That's the only way I know to do it.

I leave a few quid in my ebay / paypal account all the time. Just usually take it out when I get over £50 in therezn there's no charge to withdraw over £50. Its like 'bonus' money that way .

If you go to 'My Ebay' and find your sold items, you can then select 'Mark as dispatched' in the drop-down list on the right (click on the little triangle next to each item to see the list).

... as for your second question, you can leave money in if you like or pay the invoice manually each month, or set it to pay automatically each month from your Paypal account or credit/debit card. To do that, go to 'My ebay' again and select the 'My account' tab, scroll down and you should find a bit saying 'Ebay seller fees' where you can change your payment method.
