How soon should you send a reminder notice?

The customer has bought two items a few days apart.


The second item was a counter offer by me which he accepted.


I then sent a combined purchase order including payment details and am still waiting for payment or even a response.


Even wondered if he had received the purchase order from ebay as there doesn't appear to be anywhere in my "messages sent" section of ebay showing that I even sent him one.  Yet I know I did as I have a copy in my personal email account with the verification number.  Is that standard practice not to have a history of purchase orders and invoices somewhere on ebay?


 


If there is I can't seem to locate it. 


 


The last item was purchased on the 19th.


Should I send him a friendly reminder or wait another day?


Both significant valued items.


Thanks.

You receive an email copy of every invoice and you usually receive an email notice every time an item is sold - ebay might fail to send a notification sometimes. You can open a non paying bidder case after 4 days and close it 4 days later so it's okay to send a reminder now. A buyer is more likely to pay via Paypal than direct deposit which is an unsafe payment method.

I normally send a reminder email day 4 or 5 after purchase.

When you send an invoice a copy does not show in the outbox of ebay messages.


 


More detailed information regarding the number of emails sent to a buyer, do show in the ebay tool selling manager, but you need to subscribe to this free ebay service.


 


As this is a combined purchase of two significant items I would probably send a friendly message, rather than another invoice.
