If a person is able to bid on an item, especially a sniper, there is NO reason that the bidder cannot at least contact me regarding payment within 3 days.
Just my thoughts...

+1 - This exactly the way I handle it. This past Sunday, I have 30 cards that sold, 27 paid within 24 hours - without me asking. I sent invoices with the note 'Friendly payment reminder' to the other three and two paid that day. I have opened a non-payment case on the third one...who has never responded at all.
While, EBAY definitely pulls in favor of buyers, I think it's only reasonable for someone to bid only on items they can pay for. Since I am required (to get highest rating) to ship to my buyers within one business day, it is only natural to expect close to the same from the buyers. I try to have my sales ending on Sunday nights, hoping that 'joe blow' doesn't spend his entire Friday paycheck before then...guess I am wrong 1 in 30 times.
