Help with NPB

A buyer has bought something off me which ended last Wed and has not paid yet. When do I open the NPB?

Is it tomorrow (Wed) or Thurs? :confused: What else can I do? (Have sent invoices...)

    after 7 days so thursday. You could always just drop a friendly email enquiring when they are going to pay and say that if there are any problems to get in touch with you.

    Wednesday after the time the auction ended. I would send them a polite but firm email today though telling that to recover fees etc you will need to get this sorted out.

    :confused::confused:Wednesday after auction end time or Thursday? :confused:
    :eek: If they do have problems (sent email not EBay msg) do I give them an extra week or 2 like they said to 'get it sorted'.

    I had a non paying bidder a few weeks ago.

    1. I filed a non paying bidder reminder after 7 days.
    2. I then filed a non paying bidder strike after 8 days.

    Got my fvf back and the non paying time waster got a nice strike on his account. That's how I deal with all my non paying bidders. I don't even bother chasing them up anymore, just send them one invoice after the auction ends, if they fail to pay I go through the two steps above.

    So, once you open a dispute, you leave it open for 7/8 days?

    What happens if buyer responds, they can leave negative FB?

    If buyer reposnds to dispute then yes they can then leave feedback but in some cases a seller can appeal a neg if buyer does not mention a problem with the item or seller. Someone else will have the link to the correct wording I'm sure as it is quite prescrictive.
