Evening folks.....

Just a quick question....

I know when I buy something through Ebay... I always pay immediately... usually because I'm constantly hitting "refresh" waiting for my snipe to kick in.

Anyway... I sold a relatively inexpensive item recently..... about 40 bucks.... no biggy. The auction ended Monday at about 6pm.

By wednesday night, I had no payment, so I wrote the buyer a polite "reminder" letter, asking her if perhaps she was maiiling a check instead. Her response was:

"Sorry... I'll paypal you on Friday"

5 days? Is there a "rule" that limits the amount of time you can wait before paying someone?

Not to mention.... its 8:40 pm on Friday and I still havent been paid.

What would you do? When do I give up and offer it to 2nd chance bidders? When do I report her to Ebay?

Thanks.

Matt
