How long is reasonable to wait for payment of an item before you can then re-list and call the non-payee all the names under the sun through negative feedback?

i have now waited nearly 3 weeks for a postal order for some shads i sold. I emailed the buyer politely asking if he had sent payment and got a load of abuse back!!

dont think sellers can leave negs anymore you can just report a problem to ebay

There's no real set time as far as I can gather. The best thing to do is make it clear in your Auction Listing the time you are prepared to wait for payment. I normally put something along the lines of Please pay or contact me within 3 days or I will re-list the item.

It might be worth contacting eBay and asking them what is an acceptable time limit to wait. I would imagine that it will be something silly though.

I had a dispute started as I was a week late (Holidays) sorting out payment for something I'd helped me mam buy. Twas a bit hassly sorting it out.

ive sold loads on ebay and usually give 7 days before contacting for payment although as ive said earlier you cant neg a buyer anymore
