Evening folks.....
Just a quick question.... I know when I buy something through Ebay... I always pay immediately... usually because I'm constantly hitting "refresh" waiting for my snipe to kick in. Anyway... I sold a relatively inexpensive item recently..... about 40 bucks.... no biggy. The auction ended Monday at about 6pm. By wednesday night, I had no payment, so I wrote the buyer a polite "reminder" letter, asking her if perhaps she was maiiling a check instead. Her response was: "Sorry... I'll paypal you on Friday" 5 days? Is there a "rule" that limits the amount of time you can wait before paying someone? Not to mention.... its 8:40 pm on Friday and I still havent been paid. What would you do? When do I give up and offer it to 2nd chance bidders? When do I report her to Ebay? Thanks. Matt |

I always pay immediately as well, so it's hard to figure why someone would bid and expect to pay later.
The way you handled it was fine. I agree that if she pays when she said she would, that's cool. In the future you might want to think about including your payment expectations in your description. |
