    Hope that they pay. If they don't and you have sent it tracked (and it tracks) you could still open a NPB dispute. If you haven't sent it tracked you wont have any comeback so just hope that they pay.

    this happened to me so don't worry it's not just you, they will have had their item by now and the payment hasn't cleared so looks like i'll have to take the hit i live in hope though.
    I'd email after a few days and say that the payment hasn't been recieved can they pay or send item back. might work lol

    I did this a while back. I emailed the buyer telling her how stupid i had been and she took pity on me and paid straight away. Hopefully you'll get an honest buyer.

    Chances are, if you've sent it the buyer will believe that they have already paid or at least that you believe they have already paid.
    If they don't know they won't be able to help.
    Despite what gets said on here, most people are honest.
