interesting point....
If I buy something, I generally pay instantly.
However, it depends on your relationship with the seller. A good friend of ours and fellow board member has a 30 day deal with me. I've only asked for terms once, and I'll pay way before the 30 days even comes close.
When selling, I expect payment within 4 days. However, I have made exceptions because in general I'm just that kind of guy (push-over,lol).
I have come across an ebay feature where I hit the buy it now button and a window popped up saying the seller wants immediate payment. I was $30 short, and needed to transfer a few $$ to my pay pal hook up. Of course I was too late and missed a nice PSA Aaron Rookie for a few hundred bucks.
Communicating by message to the buyer is key in securing a smooth transaction and long term business.
As you know, I talk too much, so I probably aggravate everyone of ebay and here with my too many messages and run on replies!
But, I love you all and mean no harm... it's a long day and night here!
Happy Holidays,
Bill Hedin
