    I sold a beautiful coat on Friday - I knew it would do well but not quite this well. Bidder has been bidding since the beginning - kept out bidding everyone - then won the item. Have they paid ? Nada - grrrr so annoying and loads of good feedback mentioning instant payment !

    Hi Densol. Did you block them or are you going to relist?

    I was wondering if it's worth trying the 2nd chance offer. Has anyone had any luck using it?

    Do not risk a second chance offer until you have closed a full NPB or completed a mutual for the first sale.

    Tomorrow I'll do a non payment case - then when it's closed - I'll try a second chance offer and if not I'll resist.

    The non payment will strike towards them - Ive got my settings set to reject anyone with two or more. I'll of course block them individually.

    I won't offer them a cancellation - they had bidder on this for 7 days so it's not like a last minute mistake.
    Of course they may just pay ........ Lol

    Lucky..

    Mine still has not paid so I think I've got until tomorrow, then I can close the case and I'll try the 2nd chance offer.
