and im still waiting for payment on 2 items. one buyer has said she'll send a cheque, she has my address, i havent received anything. the other buyer i havent heard a dicky bird from. i have now sent 2 invoices to each of them.

what is the next step? should i email or just do a NPB? and if so when should i start this as i dont want to be unreasonable.

thanks.

For cheque payers I wouldn't normally start an NPB until at least day 10. I have always found cheque payers to be slow in paying but quick to want their goods.

I do dislike paying or being paid by cheque... it is just so slow and costs more!

When selling I have always encouraged people to pay by bank transfer by offering a discount and when buying from non-paypal sellers I will ask if I can use it.
