If someone agrees to purchase an item from you and then doesn't pay and ignores PMs, I think Leon needs to be made aware. He can choose how he wants to handle it but, in my own opinion, they should be banned from the B/S/T. I can understand forgetting to pay for an item, but not ignoring PMs about the item.

As far as you question goes, I think 24 hours is sufficient unless they let you know otherwise before the deal is finalized.

Payment should be immediate. If you can't pay right away, ask the seller before you say "I'll take it"

I appreciate the input.. .

payment should be made hat day IMO I could see even 2 -3 days IF the seller agrees to that.

As far as your buyer not paying or responding - id tell leon and relist the item. I think 3 PM's to the buyer / 7 days with no response at most and id relist the items.

I pay ASAP or as soon as I get to a computer if the seller has not responded right away. I would like to be paid within the same day as well.

As far as not responding, I know we all get busy so I don't mind sending one reminder and then waiting a day, but if no reply and I gotta send another reminder, as part of that reminder I would communicate that Leon is going to be informed of the lack of response and courtesy.

+1 ....I would like to know about any issues on the BST. Of course my only recourse is permitting folks to be here or not but I do take these things seriously. Not responding to PM's concerning a deal, and not following through, would be grounds for potential suspension or banishment depending on the circumstances. I would say 24 hours is long enough to pay for an item unless arrangements to the contrary are made as part of the deal. I very rarely have to get involved but will when I need to...carry on..(and I am always only a PM away)
