just want to get some feedback here.... I listed a pair of shoes and I have the same notation in all of my auctions: that I need to hear from the buyer within 24 hours of the auction ending OR payment within 48 hours. Generally speaking, I don't really "STICK" to it - as long as I either get payment within 3 days or hear from them within the 7 day Ebay mandated timeframe, no big deal (although it does irritate me). Well I sold the shoes and the buyer didn't send payment or email. I sent the invoice immediately. I sent a very nice reminder email after 3 days and then a second reminder three days after that. NO RESPONSE. On the 8th day I filed a NPB and re-listed the shoes. They sold immediately on BIN. Today (13 days later) the buyer emails me and says they were in a car accident and sent payment. I nicely explained that I was sorry for them being in an accident (which I don't totally buy) but unfortunately since I had not heard anything from them, I had already relisted the item according to my auction terms. I refunded their full payment. I'm just wondering - should I have continued waiting? Did I act too fast? I usually only sell things because that's how I keep funding my bad habit and I usually have my eye on something and prefer to get paid AT LEAST within the 7 day timeframe....
