Is it bad/wrong to ask someone when do they intend paying?

So bloody sick of ebay. I sold four things on sunday (auctions ended on sunday) and out of them, only one has been paid for. Ok, it was only yesterday but I personally always pay the same day. I've been messed around before where after 2 weeks it becomes apparant that they have no intention of paying for what they've won and you're stuck in a stupid timewasting 'dispute' when all you want is to sell your item and make some money.

I'm more annoyed as crimbo is approaching and I kind of need the money NOW...not in 3 weeks when the dispute is finally over and I can relist and someone buys etc etc etc!

So, of these four things that got sold on Sunday...ONE has been paid for. I got a message from another one saying he'd pay on wednesday and the other two have just not responded at all.

Would it be wrong/bad/rude to email them and ask them nicely when they intend paying (could perhaps disguise it as 'I want to send them out as soon as possible to avoid christmas post).

you know what i had this just this weekend!

i won an item late Saturday night and on sunday was out all day for my ds2 birthday party logged on monday morning and had a "when are you paying for the item" thats all the message said now the ebayer was new to ebay so i sent a message back explaining that i was paying now but in future i wouldnt be as pushy and that imo one day did not warrant a "when are you paying" email and that the buyer better not be so pushy in future since now sellers cant leave neg FB but buyers can!!

really tempted to send a "when are you posting item" email!!
