sigh..jackass buyer on ebay

On my auctions I expect immediate payment, especially since I ship same day and pay instantly when I buy something. If you don't have the cash to pay don't bid on my stuff. i expect payment in one day. This jackass wins my auction and I hear nothing for 3 days then they pay, I promptly refunded their money explaining that I don't wait for days to get paid. They left me bad feedback claiming I took their money etc :/ I can't even see a place to put my rebuttal.
 
Did you state your payment requirements in the auction? If not tough shit. While I agree with your reasoning and expect the same, you need to put those requirements in the auction. The buyer had every right to leave you negative feedback. 3 days to pay is pretty common on ebay.
 
Wow... 3 days? Big freaking deal. You're the jackass seller IMO. Maybe they paid from paypal and had to wait 3 days to get the money into their account.

This.
 
did you specify that the winning bidder pays same day?
if you didn't, i think the buyer was alright paying you after 3 days.
i'm not sure what the rule is but i think ebay says a week or something.
 
OP, are you a regular ebay seller? And are you ranting because this is the FIRST TIME one of your buyers took 3 days to pay? Because I just don't believe that.

You can "expect" immediate payment, but if a buyer taking 3 days to pay is going to upset you, I suggest you not use ebay because you're going to be angry on a regular basis.

A seller who refunded a payment made in 3 days with a comment that "I don't wait days to get paid" is begging for a negative.
 
Did you specify in your auction that you expect payment within 24 hours? If not, 3 days is not bad at all.
 
Guy who bid may have been out of town, may have been in the hospital, wife could have been in labor, had a power outage due to some major fire like in Santa Barbara, or hada death in the family.

You sir - deserve the negative!



 
Doesn't ebay let you list auctions with an "Immediate payment required" option, which requires the buyer to pay before they actually win the item? Do you use that?

lol. this.
 
Unless you said to pay immediately, I don't know what the problem is. They probably didn't get paid until yesterday and paid today when it showed in their account or something..
