Some sellers will allow 7 days before taking action, but you can open a dispute for non payment 4 days after the close of sale, if no payment is received after a further 4 full days (beginning of 5th day) you close the dispute, you get your fees back and free to relist if you wish.

Add the buyer to your blocked bidder list, and update your preferences to block any buyers with non paying strikes against them.

If the buyer has made no contact or indication that payment has been made within a week maximum, open the dispute.
