Item sold but not payed for yet...

Hi, this has never happened to me before, so I don't know what the 'procedure' is for this...

Someone purchased an item from me 8 days ago, and I still haven'y had any payment come thru. I sent a polite email yesterday, but how long should I leave it before I put in a claim to eBay? I checked the profile, and their loc is only specified as UK, so they may be in a flood area. :confused:

Help!

    Raise a non paying buyer dispute immediately.

    People have a 1000 excuses why they havent / cant / wont pay. Sick relatives, the dog bid for them by mistake, etc...

    Completely Agree!

    Raise a NPB dispute. It may result in a quick payment!
