Paying for items

Have you won or bought an item? Congratulations on your purchase! When it comes time to pay, our payment methods make it easy.

Solve a problem

Go to My eBay, and click the "Won" link on the left side of the page. Locate your item. If the "Paid" icon is blue, you've paid for your item. If the icon is gray, you might need to make a payment or update your payment status.

Contact your seller if you have any questions about your payment status. On the item page, click the “Contact Seller” link.
