    Hi Nellis,
    I've noticed some buyers are a lot slower to pay now compared to when we (sellers) could leave feedback, if its 3 days since the item ended I would send them a message asking them to contact you and asking if they have any problems, this seems to work and they should at least get back to you telling you when they are planning to pay, unfortunately I had my first non paying bidder last week and had to open a dispute, but all the other slow payers did pay up before the 7 dayswere up, so try not to worry about it, good luck!

    Hi Doodledo!!

    Can I join in please? Have just worked out that I made about £1000 last year but this was pre-LBM and I have no idea where it all went!! I'm not sure what I have left to sell, so would like to set my target at £500.
    start = Wed 19th Nov 2008 £21,225
    end = Mon 28th Sept 2015 DEBT FREE!
    I love a good plan - it may not work.... but I love a good plan!

    Most seasoned ebay buyers don't bid for anything until the last day or even hour - the last 2 mins for me - last minute bidding is called 'sniping' and is an art I'm rather skilled at ;):D So don't worry if your stuff just sits there till the last day, and you can relist something that doesn't sell and you get your initial fees back if it sells 2nd time round (although they do tend to change offers sometimes).
