Am I being too impatient?

shellabear

I'm new to selling on ebay and I've just sold my fourth item at 9pm today. I only accept Paypal and all of the other transactions/payments were made within 5-10 minutes. I also pay immediately when I have bought stuff.

The problem is that I have yet to receive payment for the last auction and it has been 3 hours. Could anyone give me an idea of what is normal?

Thank you

maybe they have gone out , i have had late payments etc over a few days dont worry i would say chill out:rotfl:

Ok I'll chill :rotfl:

Getting a bit nervous though. It had quite a few people bidding on it but the price it sold for was quite high. The item was brand new and sealed up but you can get them on the internet a lot cheaper (£1-2).

Just wondering whether the thrill of the bidding went to their heads and now they are regretting it. Does that happen a lot?

Did you state in your auction how long people have to make a payment? I state 7 days and sometimes have to wait that long.

No . I'll use that one next time. All of his/her feedback suggested that he was an extremely fast payer though. That's also why I am a bit concerned. I think I'll go to bed and try not to look at "My Ebay" until tomorrow night. Chances of that will be q slim though:D

Thanks for all of the quick replies.:A

Hi

If you haven't already, you could send them an invoice and add the comment that if payment is received today then you will post first thing on Monday (if you can).

Sleep well (oh - you probably are....)

Well I stated on my listings 3 days and 2 bidders still havent paid me yet and it's now been 4 days. I've reminded them but still nothing. They both have 100% feedback but one of them only has a rating of 1. What should I do?
