Ebay sellers - BIN buyer question

[Drew6]

I know that sometimes I take a little longer 1-2 days with BIN/Auction depending on when payday is and also if I am using bill me later where you get 6 months interest free on total purchases of $99 and an extra 1% in ebay bucks. It doesn't have to be from the same seller, just paid for on the same day as you pay for the other items to make sure you total at least $99. When I do sell I give 5-7 sometimes more days to pay as that is what it would take the old fashioned way of money order or personal checks. Just offering a little insight from someone who at times does not pay right after hitting the BIN. Drew

I do the same thing, Drew. Sometimes I pay immediately and sometimes I take three days.

If you want to get paid immediately, then use that option. If you want to get paid within 24 hours, then stipulate that in your auction description.

They might have seen them sitting there for awhile which indicates not in a rush to sell. Bin are very picky as well if they are upset with anything they might want a refund, with auctions you usually avoid a lot of that bs. If you get paid within 5-7 days all good anything sooner is a bonus.

Hi Steven, I agree with you. If you hit the BIN, why wait 7 days to pay? If you are a buyer, how about a little common courtesy and send a message to the buyer that you won't be able to pay for 7 days? A little communication goes a long way. Most of the people who don't pay right away don't respond to invoices or messages - they just totally ignore you.

90% of sales are paid within 48 hrs, the rest 3 days to never. It's just cardboard we should be happy to get paid at all. Try collecting from a fortune 500 or 100, the bigger they are the slower they pay, passing the buck from person to another until past 90 hits then pay as little as possible. Be happy you sold a card and got paid! Life is too short!!
