Ebay problem
Dusty - 27/2/12 at 10:25 AM

I'm new to selling on ebay and have just flogged off a batch of surplus car bits. Only one problem, non payment after 8 days on some injectors. Strange thing is the bidder, injectors4you, is a four year member with 100% feedback on 3000+ items. The injectors were only 26 quid but I haven't had a response to emails. I don't know what the problem is.
I think I have been generous waiting but what is other peoples reaction? I want these things sold. I'm short of cash.

I think that is a long enough wait; tell ebay (to get charges back) then re-list.

If the buyer is not responding to your messages it is probably time for you to initiate an unpaid item strike to at least recover the final value fees from ebay

Tardy payers quite often stump up when they get an unpaid item reminder from ebay.

Do they have any active listings? Sometimes this will show if a seller is 'away' for any reason.

Just been back to ebay and he has paid in the last few minutes perhaps in response to the email I sent him this morning. So all is good.

Sometimes buyers (& sellers) go off on holiday you have allow a bit of slack.

Plus, as happened to me, you get a bloody computer blow up. Ended up using the local library to reply to buyers, costly and a real PITA. Cheers Ray
