A bidder still hasn't paid me, this hasn't happened before and I'm not sure what I do.

[dizzymare]

She won my item 2 days ago, and I've sent her an email, and an invoice, so what do I do next?

[KingCanuteIAm]

Wait, she has seven days to pay under ebay rules. You could send a nice email again after 5 days perhaps?

[dizzymare]

Right ok, I didn't know she had 7 days . Maybe I should go re-read the rules

[KingCanuteIAm]

I think it is something that a lot of people miss - until something like this happens of course

In fairness I am sounding all clever but I only found this out myself a week or two ago when another MNer had the same problem

[dizzymare]

So I can't give her Neutral feedback then I guess It's only something for 99p aswell

[KingCanuteIAm]

You can't give neutral anyway can you? I thought sellers could only give pos feedback now?

Anyway, nothing negative if it is within 7 days, that is why you see people making a point of saying "fast payment" in the feedback, it is the only way to highlight those who do not stall.

[dizzymare]

Well I knew you couldn't leave negative feedback now, but I didn't know that was the same for neutral. See, I know nothing
Thanks for helping though, I'll get off her back for another few days

[KingCanuteIAm]

For 99p it is probably worth ignoring her until she sorts it out herself IYSWIM.

Chill dizzy! Not everyone spends hours a day on their computer. There are some people that turn on their computer, bid on an item and don't switch it on again for another week! The buyer has 7 days to pay and then if you start a dispute they still have a further 8 days to pay before you can close the case and get your listing fees back!
I second the polite message on day 4-5 saying 'your item is packed and ready to go I'm just waiting for payment'
