Can we send our own invoice?

[pawtasticpet]

Hi!

Just ended an auction with my first sale!

Do we have to use Ebid's invoicing system or is it possible to use our own?

Both PayPal Pro Merchant and Google Checkout allow you to create and send invoices.

My buyer has another bid in on another current auction and I'm combining shipping for her. So I'm thinking that it would be easier to send an invoice via the chosen payment method rather than through EBid. I would then mark the auction as "Paid" after receiving payment, correct? And then "Shipped" when the package is on it's way?

Just want to make sure I'm on the right track!

Yes, you can do all that. You can also send a combined ebid invoice when everything's finished, and include a discount on either item price or shipping, by amount or percentage of total. That way your buyer still gets the full choice of payment methods you offered.

My cat wants it MEOW.

Just kidding.


Wait for the other one to end then there should be a clickable do hickey thingie that will let you send one invoice for both items. Be sure though to change the shipping charge prior to sending it out or it won't show the discount.

I found it to be quite easy to send the invoice through Ebid. If the buyer pays via PayPal for example then it gets marked as paid automatically just like on e**y.
