How long do you normally wait for someone to pay you on ebay?

Just curious?? maybe im very inpatient, but... still awaiting payment on COI model, the bidder/buyer was able to go online and outbid someone last minute to win the model, the invoice was sent straight away, and still nothing? lol

ive sent the buyer a msg, but no reply either...

what do you do in this case? wait a few days then report them? an give the other bidders a chance? or relist?

When did it finish Mark?

I have previously had buyers not pay for a few days. I think Ebay automatically sends them a payment reminder after 3 days.

Also if they bid in the last few seconds they probably used an auction sniper and may not have been there in person to place the bid

done that a few times in the past myself.
you cant do anything mark for at least 7days legally.

finished 9.30 last night (yes very inpatient I know lol - but normally when im bidding/watching, and I win, I pay right away.. lol) I sent an invoice anyways, not sure how the ins an outs of ebay work as I never sell, I just buy! lol, so the invoice was sent twice then if ebay send one aswell lol, and also sent a message to the seller...

give it a few days then? lol

I normally after 5 days send a reminder and once 7 days is up i put in a complaint of non payment through ebay. I take no prisoners lol.
Give it a few more days, i would.

I would give a few days.

Usually Ebay send a 'you have won this item' please pay the seller message soon after the item finishes and then if they haven't paid in 3 days I think it is Ebay send another 'payment reminder message'

thanks lads for the info ill give it a few days an then see what happens! maybe geniune enough reason..

i just lack in patients lol

calm doooowwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnn m8!

You'l need to give it a few days Mark

If im bidding on an item i know i will win (like those models that you will pay anything for), i will have the funds already in my paypal. If i win an item that i put a sneaky bid in, not expecting to win it, i wont have the funds in my paypal and it will take a few days to go across.

.

Mark you can send the buyer an invoice to let him know he has won the model and it may speed things up a bit,
I think you have to wait about 7days before you can open a complaint of non payment, then the buyer has about 3 or 5 days to respond,
