I state in listing I expect payment in 7 days...if you dont hear anything in 4/5 send another invoice.

Its really annoying as one of the buyers won some other stuff and has paid for that already.

There shouldn't be a problem with my Pay pal should there, this would have been flagged up by now surely ?

Is send an invoice at auction end and then email them after three days, ebat will take action after 7 I think.
