Re: how long to wait before chasing for payment

golf_shank · ‎15-10-2013

HI

I sold something in auction 10 days ago but the buyer hasn't paid yet. I have dropped them a nice email saying could they arrange payment so I could ship the item, but have had no response.

how long should I wait for them to pay before I re-list?

Thanks

have you opened a non paying bidder dispute?

*crikey*mate* · ‎15-10-2013

after 4 days, eBay allows you to open up an unpaid item dispute through the resolution centre. You will find a link to this in your drop down menu beside the item "report a problem" (I think) otherwise it's there somewhere - have a look around LOL)

The customer will receive notification of the dispute.

They may pay, or at least contact you to make an arrangement.

If they don't pay or you are not in agreement with the arrangements that they want to make, you are able to close the case after 4 days.

You will then receive a final value fee credit and the buyer will receive a strike on their account.

You cannot relist the item until the contract has been officially voided such as through this process.

Some people can go their whole lives and never really live for a single minute.

Ebay send a reminder after 48 hours, if still no response by end of day 3 I send the invoice with a nicely worded pay up or else message and if nothing at close of play day 4 I open the dispute.

what's a shank? i thought it was the long bit with the handle on the end above the head thingy you hit the ball with?

oh, and a lamb shin of course...

A shank is a shot hit with the hosel (where the shaft joins the actual clubhead) and for a right hander results in a shot squirting about 45 degrees right into trees/water/out of bounds/your playing partner/the M1 (take your pick!). Most demoralising shot in golf. As they say, the hardest shot in golf is the one after a shank 😞

well then coast golf, I will try and send you happy thoughts to override the bad thoughts about shanks

I think we're neighbours BTW 0 I recognize the M1

but is it just me, or does it sound kinda rude LOLOLOL
