Default how to get paid for an ebay sale

Selling for the first time on ebay, half a dozen items sold and money received to my paypal account no problem. Two higher value items (£45 and £55) sold but ebay shows them as "claim your payment" and "view your paypal account" status.

Any clues why I haven't got the money?

Could it be because I've never had my paypal status as verified? Just gone to sort this out at payapl but will take a couple of days.

Desparately trying to help complete the sale but don't want to get ripped off.

Anyone else want to buy Harry Potter lego or prom dresses?

Nope, not appeared.

Just heard back from the buyer, it might be I need to convert my account from a paypal personal to a business account so I can receive more than five payments by card a year according to an email.

Anyone else had to register as a business paypal (which sounds pants for 5 transactions per year)

Yeah I think there's a limit to how much you can recieve before you have to update your account but i'm sure its if your trading more than £1k or something like that.

Also, validating your account is mainly for when your buying, to make sure the bank acc is yours.

Not sure you need a business account, just get the account validated

Turns out I need a Premier Paypal account and will not get charged another 3% plus 20p for taking payment by credit card via paypal.

Bit hard for me to whinge when I work for a bank and this is us levying charges.....
