So I put a card up for sale, got 50% of its value and its ben 48 hrs w/o payment. How long does it have to go before I say forget and dont sell the card? Id rather keep it for trade bait at this point.

Thanks for the help, Im just sulking....

Steven, that's the chance you take when you sell on Ebay.

But if you've been on Ebay for awhile, you get 50 auctions to list for free (per month I believe) with a "Auction Style" auction. I always list my auctions with my starting bid being the minimum I will accept for a particular card. I no longer list .99 cent auctions.

As for waiting for payment, always include in your auction description the number of days a buyer has to pay. For me it is "7 days."

I've had the same thing happen before. I usually just wait the specified time within my description (I always give seven days). To be fair, I'll send out an invoice after the auction, but not a payment reminder hoping they don't pay. If they pay within the specified time, so be it and I'll send out the item. If they pay after the specified time, I just refund payment informing them they didn't comply with the terms of the auction.

No, 24 hours isn't long enough. If you really want to keep your card, don't file a complaint. That will only give him reason to pay. Just hope he forgets about it.

Always consider that you might one day get a great deal on Ebay. Usually that kind of stuff balances itself out.

Take advantage of using your "50 free auction-style listings" to list that type of item with a starting bid number at the minimum you'll accept for the card. Also, Ebay usually has "listing sales (like they do tomorrow 09/12/2011)" during the course of a month, so take advantage of that.

Don't be so quick to "Open A Case" as the buyer has the luxury to leave you a "Neg." With a "Buy It Now" you have the option of "Immediate Payment" due. But there's no way Ebay will allow you to open a case for at least seven days after the auction ends. And if the buyer pays within that seven days, and you decide to refund the seller's money and keep the card, you are guaranteed to receive a "Neg."

....maybe im sending the wrong message here? Im not looking to screw anyone outta a deal, or do anything i havent agreed to by being willing to sell the card. If payment came this moment it would be in the mail, insured tomorrow. MY QUESTION was how long do i have to wait before i can close the matter w/ ebay thus keeping my card? I do not consider it immoral to not email the guy for payment...he bid, he can pay. Also, the complaint would be to start clock on payment and not to slander the buyer. I am extremeley honest, but play by the rules and look for those that apply to me. I could not find the exact time on ebay and brought it here...I just want to know the rules.

Umm. yeah, Cobb Love has it right. If you are afraid you won't get what you want, then either put a reserve on it, or don't sell it. Hoping the guy doesn't pay, and especially " I just want to keep my card" is kinda BS. An Ebay bid is a contract between buyer and seller, and you are OBLIGATED to SELL the card to the winner at the bid price.

Now, if he doesn't pay in a reasonable time, then so be it, then you can contact him and request payment or open a case for non payment. Reasonable time is subjective too, since you didn't specify. Payment must be received by XXX days after receipt of invoice or whatever.

Remember, Scott, Ebay has high "Reserve" fees, although depending on what the seller wants for the card, it might be worth it to take a chance.

Steven, you might as well wait the seven days for payment, as Ebay won't let you "Open A Case" for at least seven days.

I also wanted to mention that the times that I've gotten a great deal on Ebay, whether it be "Buy It Now" or "Auction-Style" I always paid immediately.

Steven, I don't think anyone here has written or implied that, we are just showing you the options you have.

Why are you being so defensive? You're the one that brought your situation over here.

And the consensus here is "7 days."

That is true. Like I said earlier though, depending on the FVF fees, I probably wouldn't even bother filing a complaint. What was the amount of the sale?

THat was what the response was to. Sorry if Im defensive but that sounds like someones calling me bs.

Im honest. I appreciate all the help I get from this board and the quick responses I get to things. Ive met lots of members on here and only mean respect to the board and its members. I have sought help on this matter and 7 days seems to be concensus and fare. Again, by no means was I ever for moment looking to swindle this card.

Thank you for yor help.

7 Days, you can file a Non-Paying Bidder notice and then the bidder has 4 days to pay before you can close out the case.

............I think.

The NPB can be filed after four days. Once the NPB is filed, ebay gives the buyer an additional four days to pay before you can close the case and receive a refund for your final value fees.
