eBay, how long should one wait for payment
« on: January 05, 2016, 03:41:00 AM »
So my A4000 sold today on eBay however it's been 8hrs and not a word from the buyer plus he had 0 feedback. Should I start to worry that he is going to not pay?

Yes, the option is there to give it to the next highest bidder so I'll wait till tomorrow evening I guess.

well, Ive sold a few things on eBay in the past and usually within the first few hrs payment has been received. Ive got pictures of the box and how it was wrapped plus of course the pictures I posted in the auction of the actual Amiga.

Ill just wait till the end of the day today before I really start to get annoyed.

Update: Payment did finally come through last night. Paypal has changed how payments are handled since the last time I sold something on ebay. They put a hold on the payment till the buyer receives the item, not sure how I feel about that.

My concern with that is the buyer could just say they did not receive it or it was not working even if they do get it and its working and get the money back right away. I went the extra mile on this sale taking lots of pictures, included $1000 insurance as well as a required signature on receiving it.

Here is the info from Paypal:

You received a payment from ------- and the money is in your pending balance. While the payment is in your pending balance, it still belongs to you but isn't immediately available for withdrawal. If there are no problems with the order, we'll move the money into your available balance within 21 days.
The money may be available sooner if we can make sure your buyer received the item and is happy with it.
Here are a few steps you can take to get faster access to your money:
If this order requires shipping, send it to the buyer's shipping address. Be sure to mark the item as shipped on the Transaction details page and provide the shipping details. We'll calculate the expected delivery date and release the payment within 7 days of that date, OR
Ship directly via USPS, UPS, or FedEx or pay for shipping and print labels on PayPal, then ship via USPS, UPS, or FedEx. Once we know that the item was delivered, we'll release the payment within 3 days, OR
If your product or service does not need to be shipped, mark the order as processed on the Transaction details page and provide any additional details. (For example, an e-book, song or album, or a smart phone app.) We'll calculate the expected delivery date and release the payment within 7 days of that date, OR
Upload all tracking information or other proof of shipment or delivery.
If your buyer confirms that the item was delivered and doesn't report any problems with it, you may also get the payment sooner. If there are problems with the order, we will continue to hold the payment until the issue is resolved, which may take longer than 21 days.

I have no idea when it changed as the last time I sold something was late 2014. I buy more than I sell on there. Its being shipped to a guy in Ontario so just across the country not across any boarder so at least that makes it a bit more affordable and simple.
Ill keep you posted as to the results.

Payment is still on hold till the 26th. I have 100% positive feedback on over 260 transactions so my guess is maybe because of the buyer has no feedback?
