    Start worrying, send him a reminder. If he doesn't reply within three days then send him a final reminder and if no further response, NPB him. There are a lot of them about at the mo!

    yes ive had my first problemas a seller, I emailed the invoice, heard nothing for a week, so I sent out another email and still nothing, give them two more days then im relisting my item. My fault I suppose seen as they have no feedback, but I believe in giving people a chance, I mean we all had no feedback at one stage lol.

    grrr

    As the buyer already has 3 negative feedback ratings this month and has made no payment/contact in a week I would be inclined to file a NPB right away.
