    A seller can open an NPB on day 4 and it can be closed 4 days later.

    Whic it looks like I'm going to have to do tomorrow. Twice. Puzzles me no end, as all my stuff is BIN. I don't want to do the immediate payment thing as I think it's a bit rude.

    I'm confused why do you think it's rude to ask for someone to pay for something immediately on a buy it Now. The clue for buyers is in the last word NOW.

    I sold something on Thursday last week, the guy only paid today. Apparently he couldn't find his card to pay for it, but when I told him I'd only wait another day for payment the card magically appeared! I've only sold 3 things, and I've had to wait at least 4 days for payment for each of them. I always pay for stuff right away (unless I need an invoice for reduced postage, for example) so I really don't understand why people wait for ages!

    Maybe not rude, peremptory is a better word. And occasionally someone wants an upgraded postal service.
