First time Seller on ebay

New to Tattle Life? Click "Order Thread by Most Liked Posts" button below to get an idea of what the site is about:
My partner recently sold items on eBay for the first time a couple of weeks ago now
He’s requested the money to be paid to my bank account, had to inform eBay of this and gave my bank details etc
Because of new account details from my bank told it would be 6 to 8 days for payment to be ready, this was last Tuesday 21st January
Funds are showing on his eBay account but nothing showing that he can transfer them to my bank, or are they transferred automatically?
A payment of 1p was also sent to my account to verify details
Any advice welcome
