really stupid question!

I really can't remember what it means when it says on ebay, "checkout has not been completed":o I dont think I have ever seen it before.
I have sold something and thats what it is saying in selling manager, can someone enlighten me? preferably in words of less than one syllable:rotfl:

  • It means the buyer either hasn't paid or indicated through the item that they will be sending payment. :)

    I have had things before where it says awaiting payment , just never seen checkout not complete, do you not complete checkout when you press BIN?
    it's been that long since I bought something I cant remember.
    do you think they are waiting for me to invoice them?? it's not a newbie, they have 48 100% feedback .

    it means they haven't paid by paypal yet or haven't completed checkout to tell you how they will be paying (cheque, postal order etc)

    if you have BIN with immediate payment required yes, if not the buyer can press BIN and then pay and complete checkout whenever.

    Could send an invoice through, how long ago was it.

    just noticed that they have a work email address, so have probably trotted off to dinner, I have sent an invoice anyway. just hope she hasn't finished work early with it being friday and then cant access her email account till monday, OR, will she get it in her ebay messages too? god, I feel thick today!
    all my customers normally pay straight away, so it's thrown me a bit.
