As long as you are willing, however, while most buyers pay immediately, do check that eBay is not asking you to send an invoice. Usually this is because you did not list shipping charges or made some minor error that prevented the buyer from seeing them.

If a buyer has not paid by Day Three, send a polite note.

If there is no response on Day Four (96 hours) open an Unpaid Item Dispute.

About half of my customers apologize, pay up, and leave positive feedback.

The other half are never heard from again. I close the Dispute, get my fees back, and he gets a Strike which will make it harder to bid or buy in future. Neither of us can leave feedback.

Buyers get a "you won" email from ebay and then they get an invoice from the seller, which is their second notice that payment is expected. I believe ebay sends a reminder on day 2 that payment is expected which is the buyer's 3rd notice. When you start the unpaid item dispute 4 days after end of sale, that's their 4th notice. No extra emails from sellers are necessary. Even if ebay didn't send the reminder 2 days after end of sale, the buyer gets enough notices within the 4 days to know that they are supposed to pay.

If you have to file a unpaid item dispute, make sure to add the buyer to your blocked bidders list.
