Is everything working ok with ebay at the moment? I have had 8 people commit to buy things and not pay in the last 3-4 days. This just seems really weird to me.

No one has contacted me letting me know that they have had a problem paying. I'm just worried that they are going to complain when their item gets delayed. I have contacted some of the people and they are not contacting me back. I just don't know if there is an ebay problem or if it is the buyers. 8 items unplaid in 3 days just seems really high to me.

I've just been worrying about the same thing actually. I'm used to non paying bidders, but I've had 3 just this week, usually I get about 2 a month.
I hope there's no issue... No one is contacting me about it at any rate. I invoiced them yesterday and messaged them this evening

I have had maybe a total of 4 unpaid buyers in a few months but 8 in 3 days is a lot.
I just don't get it. There is no reason not to pay straight away unless you are waiting for combined postage.

On day 3 I always send a buyer who hasn't paid an invoice with a message asking them to confirm payment as I cannot locate it and to contact me if they are having trouble paying. It does appear from the number of threads that there are definitely some problems with the payment and Paypal links.
It says in this book I am reading that by 2065 80% of women will be overweight.
See what a trendsetter I am?

Just an update. I have had 2 of the buyer get back to me and they are both having trouble with their Pay Pal.

She may very well have been trying to pay and been unable to, although I'd reasonably expect an email telling me so if that was the case. My listing does request payment at the time of sale, so I suppose 24 hours without notification should be long enough to wait before sending her an invoice.
