Item not paid for since bidding closed on saturday

Sold a few items on ebay and 1 bidder hasnt paid yet, how long should i leave it before i send an invoice, is a week sufficient or should i be sending 1 tomorrow.

I only ever give the 4 days that ebay allow before opening a NPB. I would send another invoice today & if you don't get paid open the case tomorrow.

I would send one now but don't send any personal correspondence. If you try and pester the buyer into paying they may well just pay to stop a dispute, whereas sending one invoice, with just your standard terms listed, today, and then opening a dispute when you feel ready to do so, is less likely to rouse the buyer.

thanks, i do accept maybe he hasnt had chance to pay for the item yet especially if hes working but it doesnt take much to pay for the item.

It takes no longer to pay then it does to bid.
I had a run of NPB a few months ago & it seems at the time several people on here were the same.

EBay gives buyers 4 days to pay. You are entitled to open a case any time from 4 days onwards, it's your choice.

You can tick on unpaid item assistant to automate it for you and again, you can choose when you want it to start.

There's not much point waiting for a week for people to pay really.

If a buyer contacts you to request longer to pay, it's up to you to agree or not.

i wouldnt pester them as such, think most of the buyers have bid pretty promptly so never used 1 before

ill give them till thursday to pay and ill do a npb if payment not sent.

Some people do - and then wonder why they get problems later on - so that's just a general warning.

Good luck - it's much quicker to do a dispute, used to take aaaaaaaaaaaages.

Well i sent the invoice like i said and ive just checked my ebay account and the unpaid item has moved from "1 item left be paid for" to the sold section and checked paypal to double check and the bidder has now payed. I didnt get an email saying he had paid though which i did for the other items.
