Sold my first item on eBay

[Dissipate]

Sold my first item on eBay last night at about 7 P.M. PST. It was a roll of silver Washington Quarters, guy used Buy It Now for $50 about an hour after I posted the auction. I sent him an invoice but he still hasn't paid with Pay Pal or sent an email that he was going to send a money order/check. How long does it usually take people to pay? I usually pay for my eBay stuff within a few hours after auction close.

Give them three days. That's what EBay says. Then you can relist.

stop whining he'll pay when he pays... you sound like that buyer who bought a phone from me and emailed me 3 times within a day saying the UPS tracking number I gave him didn't work... it was the right number it just hadn't propogated through the ups system.

Usually I use the "immediate payment required" option for buy it now. You should have done that if you want your money quickly.

Oh, I didn't know there was an option for that. D'oh.

Silver is up to 5x+ face value? That is pretty expensive.

Hey, I don't really care. I don't need the money NOW, I was just wondering what the typical payment time is, that's all. Sheesh.

Yep. Spot price right now is about $7.13 an ounce. There are about 7.2 ounces of silver in a roll of silver quarters, so the guy actually got kind of a bargain (not including S&H). Silver is definately on the rise these past weeks.
