eBay payment wait time

[SandEagle]

i sold an item to some dbag 3 days ago and still haven't received payment. sent an invoice and email, no response.

how long should i wait until i dispute? said dbag has 100% positive score.

 

[spaceman]

i wait 2 weeks
thats the ebay way
take it in the ass + smile
or else...
if u are a seller

At least a week or two. Some people have more important things going on in their life such as work and children.

its lame tho
i never won/bought something on fleabay..i didnt pay for within a day
usually within hours...cmon
no excuses..just buyers being fuckheads
the sooner u paythe sooner it ships etc.etc.etc.

 

[SandEagle]

2 weeks? f*** that. i pay every item instantly. only dbags let it go longer than 3 days

If it takes 2 weeks to get your payment, then it should take you 2 weeks to ship the item after you received payment.

I feel for you. When I buy from ebay, I pay within hours.

oh definitely
but its the honey/flies thing
you prolly wont get paid for that item anyway
but u could potentially ge t anegative

you must wait a week before dispute it, even if buyer says they dont even want it, i buy things all the time and dont pay instantly, should i stop what im doing and pay that second the item finishes? i have program that does bidding at last second for me..

most coherent spaceman thread ever...


OP, i usually contact the winner right after the auction ends to see what their plan is.

I do my finances on the weekend. If I win an Ebay auction on a Monday, I might not get to it until Saturday or Sunday.

i guess from now on i will start adding in the description that you have 3 days to pay before i cancel the transaction and relist

There is an option you can check that says "require immediate payment upon auction end".

can u do that w/o buy it (nao)?

Because that's when I pay outstanding bills.

 

[spaceman]

sorry dude,seems like a bullshit rationalization
walmart dont wait for your "finances,nor do many other merchants..
but since u can..with the guy on ebay
thats ok with you right

I don't understand why you wouldn't pay instantly. It's so easy to click the pay now button, put your password in, and go.

It's almost more work having to intentionally log out, then later log back in, click the "items recently won" link, click the item, click the pay now, put your ebay pw in, click the pay now button again, put your paypal pw in, etc.

Nope, don't think so. Its only for fixed price auctions and buy it now.
