I sent an invoice 48hrs ago and have heard nothing. Someone else has contacted me and really wants the item. But they didn't bid, so I can't do a second chance offer.</P> Tue, 26 Aug 2014 09:52:53 GMT https://community.ebay.com.au/t5/Selling-on-eBay/Average-time-to-wait-for-payment/qaq-p/1467725 retro-boho-and-co 2014-08-26T09:52:53Z
