Late payer cutting up snotty!

Sold an item for £32 early on the 15th May, the buyer had good feedback for prompt payment. On the 5th day still no payment so I sent a polite reminder. On the 7th day sent another invoice with polite message, sure it was an oversight etc etc., Late at night on the 8th day opened a NPB.(my first this year. Lucky me)

Today Tuesday the 26th May 11 days after purchase a snotty email saying I do not leave people much time to pay!!

Am I being stupid or is it seven days.. surely this was enough leeway?

I sense a neg from the tone! :eek:

Ranty over. p.s. he has just paid.

    I think sometimes that experienced buyers come over all shirty out of embarrassment. They know they should know better but when questioned by a seller they over react.

    However, I do find they then go on to be a problem once they do pay, and this might be a time to risk using recorded at your own expense, just in case.

    Only if they do not respond to the dispute, by paying the buyer has retained the right to leave feedback and seller should cancel NPB.
