How long should i wait for a buyer to pay for an item before i offer to the next bidder??

[J2O]

Sold on Sat, didn't hear anything, so i invoiced on Mon, still not heard anything.
Should i email them again or wait a while?

You shouldn't offer it to the next bidder, you should open an Unpaid Item dispute.

Ebay says: "Usually the seller must wait 7 days after a listing closes to file an Unpaid Item dispute"...

it's only been 3 days!!!! not everyone is online every day of the week.

you need to wait at least a week IMO. then e-mail them saying you expect payment by X date or you;'ll open a dispute

ok cool, thanks, i've only sold a couple of items and they've always paid instantly so wasn't sure.

will give it till weekend, thanks for replying

ok so i've emailed them and asked them to let me know if theres a problem. they've been getting feedback nearly every day, so they must have been on ebay and paid or sent items in the last week right? Should i wait till tommorrow and then email them again saying i expect payment within the next few days or just open a dispute?

Would mail them give until Monday then open dispute a week is plenty of time to contact you r/e payment imo.

getting feedback this week doesn't mean that they've paid or sent items this week - sometimes people wait ages before doing the feedback for other people.

its ok, they've just paid

can finally post it on Mon and get the flaming thing out my way!
