Combining multiple orders on one invoice

Marking a payment as received
When a buyer completes checkout using an eBay-approved payment method, the email and shipping address information are automatically filled in for the seller in the Sales Record. The checkout status icon is also updated automatically. When you go to Awaiting Payment, you'll see the dollar sign symbol next to the record to show that payment was received.
If the buyer didn't use an eBay-approved payment method for checkout, you will need to manually mark the payment as received.
To mark a payment as received:From My eBay, click Awaiting Payment (under Sold).
Click the Mark As Payment Received link next to the listing you received payment for.
How to handle unpaid items
Didn't receive payment for an item you sold? If a couple of days have passed since the buyer has committed to buying your item, and you still haven't been paid, you should contact the buyer. If the buyer tried to pay, you can check the payment status through PayPal or their other payment method. For more tips, see communicating with your trading partner.
