As a seller and a buyer myself, I'd say around 5-7 days, if you haven't heard from them...contact them. And if you still haven't heard from them within 48 hours, THEN file a complaint.
As a buyer, I always try to notify the seller of what's going on, but as a seller, I also try to be as cool about it as possible because I know that things happen and in this economy crap happens. So yeah...I'd say wait 5-7 days, then if there's still no payment, contact them. Speaking as a seller and a buyer, I'd say that's reasonable and fair. EDIT: And just to let you know, I'm speaking as a seller who has had to file a complaint. Just be reasonable, especially in this crappy economy. Give your buyers about a week with no contact, then try to get a hold of them and if they don't respond within 2 days or so, then proceed with further action. That is just plain fair. Others will say you should try to screw them within 3-4 days, but I totally disagree as someone who's spent plenty of time on BOTH sides of the equation. It's all about goodwill on BOTH sides. |

What realy annoys me when i sell anything are the people that bid in the last few seconds and win the auction and then turn their computer off and wait 3-4 days before paying by paypal!
They know they've won, why not spend 30 seconds longer and pay for the damn item! grrrrrr!!!!!!

I guess I'll give it a few more days. I don't want to seem like an untrusting, pushy, prick. But they alreadycharged the listing fee so I'm out that no matter wgat.

They know they've won, why not spend 30 seconds longer and pay for the damn item! grrrrrr!!!!!! Depends on what it is. Sometimes I have to win an auction because the item is super rare & I don't have the money right away. Sometimes a scarce item gets listed at a bad time. So I win it, I basically reserve that item & I'll pay later. Like putting it on hold for a few days. For example, I wanted "The General". There weren't any on ebay at all. Finally one showed up. So I made sure I won it but I had to wait about 5 days before I could pay for it. Usually something shows up on ebay when I don't have the money. Right now I have a shit load of money & I'm looking for a mint complete Crusader but there aren't any listed. The ones listed now are all busted up, incomplete & yellow. 5 pristine mint white complete Crusader's will show up as soon as all my money is gone. That's just the way it goes. There are a lot of GI Joe vehicles that you can't fucking find! You always see 50 million HISS tanks, Vamps, MMS, Whirlwinds, ASP's, Rattlers etc. But you hardly ever see a Crusader in decent shape, or The General, or a Ringneck. Some of the later Spy Troops & VvV vehicles are impossible to find. So you gotta win it when it shows up whether you have the money ready or not. The seller just has to learn what patience is all about. Last edited by Steelgrave; 12-06-2009 at 05:45 AM.. |
