Non-paying bidder on Ebay

[Jaybird]

I'd wait a bit more as well. Couple days then message again. And even one more time before you open the case. I'd rather be patient and kind so I avoid bad feedback and possible alienation of the buyer.

It's a buyer's world.

To me the most important piece of information is missing...how long ago did the item end? If the item ended a few days ago, I would say that you are being somewhat pushy.

I usually send and end of auction email and wait a week before following up. I would send a reminder on the 8th day and if no response at all submit a non paying bidder reminder at about the 12th to 14th day. 98% to 99% of the time the buyer pays within a day or 2 of the npb reminder.

With feedback of 2600+ at 100% I think that you are going to be fine.

Good luck.

I follow Jeff's parameters ..


I will send an email around the 6th day..just a reminder that I have the package ready to be shipped, and asking for a payment update

Don't forget that Ebay is also sending automatic reminders. I'd give a few more days.

Its probably because he's broke after winning all of TBOB's 1911 zeenut auctions.

Purchase was Friday morning, May 20th. Granted, only a few days in the big scheme. I guess the fast payers have me spoiled, so to hear what you guys have to say is reassuring.
