I congratulate you on your tenacity, everyone tells you you are wrong, yet you persevere, well done.

To move the argument on and to keep winding you up, where does Ebay give 3 days for buyers to pay? They don't, as it has been with disputes open on the fourth day and then not being able to close for another 4 days, a buyer had at least 7 days to pay.

Here: http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/buy/questions/buy-item.html

Step 5 - "After you've won or bought the item, send your payment to the seller within 3 days."

To use your flawed credit card argument, if I don't pay my credit card bill on the due date I incur charges. I could probably manage to not pay for a few months before they actually take me to court. By your logic that means I have all the time until I receive court papers to pay.

What point are you trying to make here? Yes it is phyiscally possible to leave it that long, but you shouldn't, you should pay by the deadline set, just like buyers on eBay should pay within the 3 days eBay sets.

Also with the new changes to npb`s a seller can open a case after just 48 hours, which shows that they realise there is a problem with people thinking they can pay when they like as opposed to when they purchase.

eBay also changed it's help pages to say buyers have 3 days to pay at the same time. Explain that.

The more likely reason for the time reducing to 48 hours is to reduce the amount of time sellers have to wait to get their money back when buyers message them to say they can't pay, have found your item cheaper elsewhere, just realised it's not new etc.

Also using the flawed credit card argument that stacface keeps reiterating do you also think there should be charges incurred for late payment?

Credit card companies state in their terms & conditions that if you pay late you incur charges. If eBay were to put this in their terms & conditions then yes. Otherwise no.
