Ebay dilemma...

[alofbrighton]

What time scale is reasonable to give someone to pay on ebay before relisting or giving a second chance offer to those that missed out with lower bids?
Not that I'm impatient but sold a couple of items on Sunday evening and haven't been paid as yet or had responses to polite e-mails thanking them for winning bid.
I've sold quite a few things in the past and nearly always been paid immediately or the day after. So how long before I kick them into touch?

I'd give them another 24hrs to respond or you will relist.

I think its 3 days before you can put in an unpaid item report.

To be fair, not everyone log ins or checks their email everyday...

Tell em your going to do this in 24 hours, then do it, gets v good results...nb I always need paypal & CC registered to allow bids, stops the jokers mostly

Im having Issues with a seller on Ebay, i brought a charger and a spare battery for my phone and the charger is broken, not left feedback yet but still waiting for a email back from seller.

I usually wait 4-5 days then send a reminder.
It's entirely possible that they only use a computer at work and maybe not in for a couple of days.
Also people sometimes miss the emial or forget they have bid and don't check (both have happened to me more than once) so I always send a friendly reminder.
However, if they still don't pay, go round and piss through their letterbox.

You lot all seem very impatient. I'd say give them at least a week, they could be on holiday, etc. Doesn't eBay have some guidelines?

I would expect payment within 48 hours and say the same on my sellers page.

Give them til thursday.

You can open unpaid item case after 4dys and then eBay contact your buyer and encourage payment, if they don't get a response they close the case in your favour and refund your final selling costs.

I agree the moment you hit 7 full days you stick it back on

With either a dodgy purchase, or non paying buyer, simply set up an EBay case. You can easily close it an any time.

Thanks for the advice.......still waiting for one buyer to turn up and collect item that couldnt be posted. The beauty of eBay to me is that you can sell stuff quickly and fuss free, the minute you end up toing and froing emails and phone calls it defeats the object. In this case for just over £20. I suppose I see it as a time is money exercise.
