What happens when an auction winner doesn't pay for items?

Don't sell a lot on eBay so quite ignorant around the rules; generated an auction which ended on Sunday evening with a successful winning bid, person making the successful bid hasn't paid yet despite me sending them a polite message yesterday to which they haven't replied to yet.
Am assuming by this point that they have no intention of paying.
How long should I wait until the next step which is what? Will eBay reimburse me my selling charges? Is there a second chance option to offer the goods now to the next highest bidder? How do I ensure that the buyer gets negative feedback against them if they don't stump up the cash?
Any advice gratefully received

Any advice gratefully receivedThat gets your FVFs back and also puts a strike on buyers account. Sellers can set their settings to stop buyers with 2 or more strikes from bidding on their auctions, so those strikes can damage a buyer . Sellers can not leave negative feedback for buyers and never be tempted to reward them with a positive and ooor comments as a buyer can get the comments removed.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.

I believe (but may be wrong) that if you had a fvf offer then cancelling the sale and doing a second chance offer means you pay full fvfs if the second chance offer is accepted.
If so, may be better to re-list on next fvf offer day.2 -
