How long should I wait for payment from an individual before I relist the item again?

Have you emailed your purchaser with a reminder...best done at 3 days after purchase. Maybe she's waiting for an invoice from you?

[cjan6039]

The invoice was sent a few days ago. I'll email again.. if no response when is it appropriate to relist the item

I've checked the 3 items you've sold in the past 15 days...all seem to be "good" buyers. Do a search on your buyer...has she been active on ebay (bidding/buying on other items?). There was an announcement on ebay the other day about extreme weather may be hampering some communication...I'll try to find it...
As for cancelling the sale and relisting, hopefully someone more knowledgeable than I will come along...I haven't been active with ebay for about 18 months...

You can file an Unpaid Item Dispute after four days (96 hours). It is definitely a good idea to send a note on Day Three, not everyone is hanging around her computer waiting.

The Dispute can be closed another 96 hours later, then you can safely relist or make a Second Chance Offer.

However, some sellers wait much longer. I don't have the patience.

Do not relist of make a second chance offer until after the non payer has been issued an unpaid item strike.
