Sold an item earlier today. Have not yet been paid. Another unsuccessful bidder has emailed me via EBAY and offered to pay double if i sell the item to them.
I have replied saying it is not fair to initial bidding but will contact if i do not receive payment.

The extra money is tempting though. What should i do?

I think you are right to wait for first bidder. If they don't pay file a non payment dispute, and when it is closed on day 7 you can then set up a buy it now for the underbidder. Don't risk an off eBay sale by the way, as it could put your eBay account in jeopardy.

Wait for the first bidder to pay, if you sell it to the other person you risk negative feedback and a seller non performance strike risking your eBay account.

Oh and if the first person don't pay don't do a bin, just send them a Paypal request for money, no need to go through eBay it only protects the buyer not the seller.
