yes when you invoice a buyer through paypal, a link to paypal will be shown in the invoice so all the buyer needs to do is click the link in the email and they will be taken direct to paypal. I would wait another day or two and if you still haven't recieved payment, send a friendly reminder that payment is due or the item will be relisted and that they will be reported to ebay for non-payment... make it friendly though!

Yes it will automatically take the buyer to pay by paypal with a big Pay Now button.
If you only sold it yesterday it could take a few days for them to check their email and pay it.
If you are feeling anxious send them an email directly to see how long it will take until they pay.
It needn't be needy, just say something like "Thanks for your purchase. This item is set to be paid for by paypal. The sooner you pay, the sooner I can get it sent out to you." and confirm the address you are sending it to and so forth.
This way you won't sound too worried and engaging the buyer in conversation by email is a good thing anyway because you will recieve better feedback at the end of the transaction for being friendly and keeping in touch.
Remember some buyers are new at this whole thing and keeping in touch will make it much easier for them.
Happy ebay-ing! x

Thje buyer probably has already paid through PayPal, or will, within the time limits set by eBay.
PayPal pays twice a month, around the 15th and the 30th. You had to set up a checking or savings account when you set up your PayPal account, and that's where they will deposit the funds. Since this is after the 15th, I believe your funds will be there by the end of the month. As they explained to me a long time ago, they have to do it this way, otherwise they would be able to do nothing but transfer funds. Like any banking institution, they use your money, but for a very short time.

Yes, eBay will send an email to the buyer, and the buyer can click on a link to pay through PayPal. Did you put a payment deadline on the auction? I've known people who wait 10-14 days to pay. Most auctions now will say "Payment must be received within 5 days" or whatever deadline. You have to give them a deadline and then tell them if they don't pay you'll be relisting the item. Hope you get your payment!

Yes, if you've specified PayPal as your preferred method of payment Ebay will (eventually) direct the buyer to the PayPal website.
I usually leave 48 hours before chasing the buyer for payment.

If buyer wants to pay using paypal, he/she will be directed to paypal automatically by ebay. You don't have to tell him your paypal address. You will recieve a notification when buyer pays you through paypal.

You should get e-mail when the trasfer is completed. If not contact paypal.

It should do. There is a big "pay now" button on the invoice.
