Time limit when to pay

cepheus

Is there a time period by which items have to be payed for after being purchased from an Ebay store? I have delayed paying for the time being because I will be bidding for some more items tommorow and want all of them shipped together.

I would email them and let them know.

You have 7 days but just contact seller and let them know. Communication helps a lot and he might cut you a better deal.

Yeah, you have 7 days to pay, but be careful, you don't want to p**s off the seller!!! My suggestion would be to pay first and then send a polite message asking that the item(s) are not shipped before a certain date.

The seller might find this a little odd as most buyers usually panic if an item hasn't arrived after 2/3 days! But it's worth a try.

Usually If buying more than one I would e-mail them and say that I intend to purchase another item they are selling, and would they mind waiting for payment, and send a joint invoice at the end.
All sellers will appreciate your communication (and similarly will be none to impressed if you don't have any comms with them).

That's what I would do as well, the sellers usually appreciate it as it means they will have less paypal fees to pay if they have the opportunity to send one invoice. Just one thing though, does the seller say he offers a discount as never assume he will discount unless he says so. With the new pricing in proportion postage rates some of my items are much more expensive to send if I combine them in one parcel, so I no longer offer a standard discount, I now do discounts depending on what I save paypal fee wise and still send two parcels.
