rocket23 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 So How much leeway should be allowed when selling? What I mean is a bidder wins , but never pays....How long does a seller wait til he is forced to cancel the order because of non payment? I've done this once already , waited 6 business days......Any thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike169 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Hello Rocket23, Well, let's see now. - Is this your first time with the issue, or have you had this issue before? have you contacted the bidder? - How patient are you in waiting for payment? - What is your selling venue? From looking at various (well-known) websites, there usually is a time frame to pay. eBay for example you can file a report after 2 days and the buyer has about 4 days to respond, with a maximum of 36 days total. I usually give a week to pay. People may have other higher priorities ... rocket23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throwing this out there if the problem is more numerous than just my one time, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
