A buyer bought several of my items, and I need to issue an invoice for combined postage. But my hospital stay is dragging out, and I might not be able to do that for a few days.
The buyer is being understanding, but is there a time limit on this? Will ebay start pestering them to pay for the oldest item soon? I think it’s been 3 days so far.

Yes, eBay constantly remind buyers….I tell my buyers to ignore them…..but I don’t have automatic cancellations set up for non-payment after 4 days.
Do you?

I think I found it at https://www.ebay.com.au/Cancel/Preference/UnpaidPurchase and it’s turned off. I guess I’ll find out if I’m right. Hard to find it on a phone. I had to google it, then I edit the url to add the .au.

In your preferences…..and I also have a 10 day handling time, and utilise ‘time away’

Just for the record, the buyer paid for all the items including individual postage after a few days, so I never found out what would have happened. I worked out the combined postage, and issued a partial refund.
