waiting for payment

[jmcninja]

How long is the waiting time after I sell a item for payment from buyer?

[dmil8030]

A buyer has 4 days (96 hours) from when the listing ends to pay for an item, - because you cannot open an 'Unpaid Item' dispute before that time.  Most sellers wait until the end of day 3 and send a pleasant reminder.  If still no response from the buyer, they open the dispute on day 4.

A buyer then has a further 4 days in which to pay, and if he does not, you close the dispute, get your fees back, relist the item, the buyer gets a strike on his record, and no one leaves feedback.  This here link will tell you all about it:
