paypal etiquette

[calbear2000]

I just received an email from paypal titled "Notification of a Pending eCheck Payment"

It says:
"If you are shipping an item, please do not ship your item until you receive an email notification that the eCheck payment is complete, which usually takes 4 business days.

This eCheck Payment will remain 'Uncleared' until the funds have cleared from the sender's bank account, when the Status of the eCheck will change to 'Completed'. "

My buyer is asking for the product now. Is it considered rude or uncourteous to wait until the payment is "completed" by paypal? Or is it customary to ship the product once the seller submits his payment?

First time using paypal... forgive the ignorance.

i wait till stuff clears, it's your money after all

I'd wait on that. Your buyer knows that it takes a couple of days for his check to clear. If he can't wait, too bad.

Did the buyer tell you he was sending an echeck?
Does he have a good HeatWare rating?

If no to both question tell him you are sorry about having to wait until the echeck clears before you ship.
