Hello 'soulbaby',
Are you the buyer or the seller? Buyers do not receive payments, sellers do, so that
is why I ask.
If you are a seller and you have someone who has not paid for an item, you have 32 days
in which to file an Unpaid Item case. Most sellers send a pleasant reminder note after day 3,
and if no payment is forthcoming, they open an Unpaid Item case by day 4.
the following link explains all about how to do it:

You will then want to block the non-payer from ever doing this to you again. See how here:

If you are a buyer and are not planning to pay for an item, you need to send a kindly worded
note to the seller who may be willing to let you off with a cancellation. If the seller agrees to do
this, you simply agree to the cancellation notice when it arrives and you will no longer be
responsible for payment.
You will probably end up on the seller's Blocked list, but that's to be expected.
The seller does not have to agree to a cancellation, however. If the seller files an Unpaid case
and you do not pay, you end up with a Strike on your ebay ID. Most sellers block people with
2 or more strikes, so if you get a second one, you will have difficulty buying until the strikes
disappear after a year.

Is any of that what you had in mind or was it something else entirely?
