Non-payment for item

Hi all, never had this happen before so unsure of what to do next.
Bidder won my item on 6th April, have sent an invoice. I feel I have given them plenty of time to pay as I haven't heard a peep.
I emailed the buyer direct today asking if they still wanted the item and that if I did not hear from them by the end of today I would relist the item. Is this reasonable?
Assuming I hear nothing, should I leave them negative feedback for non-payment or forget it and just relist?
Thanks

You can't leave a neg, you are a seller
Just open a full NPB (non paying bidder) and close it in 4 days time. Don't waste any more time trying to reason with the buyer- they are not worth it.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

At the risk of stating the obvious can I suggest that if there is a legitimate reason the buyer hasn't paid, they could still do so before the NPB is closed - and if you have relisted the item during this time you risk incurring negative feedback.
Once the case is closed you may wish to block the buyer.0 -
This evening will be 4 days since a shooting star seller who also buys on the same account, won my item. As yet I have received no payment despite other things being bought in the past 2 days for which he has received instant feedback saying 'fast payment'.
I have no idea what he is playing at.
Mind you the last non payer I had was also a very high feedback seller who won 2 items from me and just never paid .I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.
