I'v sold a few things on ebay and normally the winning bidder has paid withen a couple of hours. Today at 2 marked day two. On day one he / she sent me this:

hello! i am treat to pay the blackberry but the sistem no given to me the opcion for the pay.
what to do?

My response with how to and a link to the ebay help link that walks you through it. I sent this a couple of minutes after receiving his message.


How long should I wait before asking him to pay? What do I do next?


Thanks,

If he doesn't pay contact eBay and tell them you have a nonpaying bidder and they will do something to him + refund fees/let you do another auction. Wait only a day more.

Agreed. Put the following (or something like it) in all of your future auctions:

"Winning bidder to pay within 2 (or 3) days of auction close or item will be re-listed and a non-paying bidder report will be filed with eBay."
 
No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?
 
2 days dude

just send him an ebay invoice and tell him to hit "pay now"

if he doesn't see the option it means he's not downloading the images.
 
I believe u can set u're preffs in ebay acct to demand "immediate payment", or the auction doesnt close. Something like that. (for u're future auctions)
I've set up a lot of "rules" in my ebay acct. Never had a bad experience since. But I rarely use ebay anymore none the less.

you're getting scammed or that person is fucking stupid. either way, you're not getting that money.
 
Do you allow international shipping? If so, it could be an international buyer. If not, it could also be someone who's a non-native English speaker here in the US. Have some patience.

2 days is no big deal either. Like NS1 said, send them an invoice. If you haven't been paid after 7 days (iirc, it's 7 days) you can open a case for non-payment.

Cash the ten thousand dollar cashiers check and remit him the excess. I am sure it will come to this.

Don`t listen to some of these idiots. Not paying in 2 days in nothing.
Be patient but don`t wait longer than a week!!

Peace bro...

Yeah I sent him a message and told him that I would re-list the phone and report him as a non-paying buyer on Sunday morning

and its been 3 days since the end of the auction, because it ended saturday night. Dont know why I said 2, either way he has a week
 
A couple more messages from the guy:

Hello! I am sorry, i am a good buyer but my sistem not is working and i dont found a solution but nothing to resolve.
carolina

His address on the Order Details page shows:

I sent him a reminder saying that is the address that I will be shipping to, and that I only take PayPal
