When are payments due?

[2011jessejames55]

After winning a bid, or even just purchasing an item, when is payment due, or expected. thanks.

I always pay within 5 minutes and like my customers

to do the same.

Some sellers put expected time in their listings.

The sooner it is paid,  The sooner it is shipped to you.

The Seller can open a dispute after three days.

There is no particular reason for delay, especially if you are using Paypal to process a payment from your credit card.

Using the cc is sensible, since it means payment is instant to the seller (bank balances/ e-cheques  take from 3 to 10 days to clear) and you have an extra layer of Buyer Protection (both PP and the cc).

If you can't pay for it immediately and you don't have a credit card, you shouldn't be shopping, eh?
