So I've sold my muse tickets last night. Sensible bid placed from what seems like a good buyer. But not a peep, no payment, nothing, not a peep!
How long do I wait?
Off to the PO tomorrow and would like to send them off at the same time as other stuff.

Obviously I wouldn't be posting them until they'd paid...

Give it a day or two.

Send them an invoice if you haven't already. Sometimes prompts people to pay.

Was it a BIN or auction? Its the weekend - a proxy bid may have been placed days ago so not terribly worrying not to have had payment before the first sober day back at work. Also not everyone has email/web access outside the workplace.

Unless it was a BIN or for tickets for an event in the next day or two theres not much to get worried about

As above. Be Patient.

The person may be away for the weekend, or just been too busy to spend every waking minute on the internet.

Send them an invoice and DO NOT post until payment has been received. Politely say this on the invoice.

Invoice just sent, and an email earlier. Two days now and still no contact. They placed two bids with 5 mins to go, only small hope is they are local to the gig venue.

In that case they may be a knob. To be generous.... On occasion I've gone through the payment process and neglected to click the final confirm and assumed I'm paid up until I get prodded. Maybe I'm a knob too.

eBay will expect you to allow a little more grace until you consider it a non paying bidder.If its any consolation any non paying bidders I've had the item has always sold for more when I relished it.

It's always possible that they had a chance of some tickets from another source, and went after yours as a safety net, got the first ones, and abandoned yours.
FWIW, I [i]always[/i], pay as soon as I know I've won a bid, it just seems the respectful thing to do. I never bother generally looking at how I'm rated, but did once see that I'm rated as someone who always pays up straight away.

4 days until you can open a non-payer case, and if they still don't play, a further 4 days until you can close the case and get your fees refunded

Not bothered about fees unless that includes the 10% of the final purchase fee? All this time is eating in to the chance of me reselling them. Can I just relist them now?
