ebay payment question

Post by jwoods103 »

If you list in your auction that payment is to be made within a certain number of hours (24, 48 etc.) and your buyer does not pay within that time and no communication between both of you what is the protocol?

I think an email saying pay by this time or I am going to cancel the item is proper and then go from there?


BTW this was a BIN
Check out what i have for sale or trade and my wants:

i always check off "must pay immediately" with BIN. otherwise i'd hit the "resolve a problem" link in ebay and let them give your buyer a kick in the pants. don't forget to kick down blazed his cut :wink: :lol: :lol:

I would just ask the buyer straight up when they planned on paying, no need to potentially offend them by coming off aggresive or negative.

the reminder from ebay proper always seems to help. i usually pop that off along with a quick note as our other buddy suggested.
