    Yes it's totally acceptable to try phoning them. Unless they're a paranoid recluse like most buyers it seems :D

    Oh btw, my buyer came through. Had gone on holiday. Replied today, paid, and was most apologetic. I even enclosed a postcard (do it with all my buyers) although he'd forgotton.

    Maybe look at it from this point of view. From a business standpoint it doesn't really matter if the transaction takes place today or in a month from now. It's just us as human beings who let our minds run wild and start focusing on the here and now.

    Give them a call :) But if in this situation again and with no contact whatsoever, I do still think I'd wait the 14-days.
