As the title. I have bought a fair few items through ebay and always pay straight away after the auction has ended. I recently sold three items, two of which were paid for immediately, I sent a PayPal invoice to the third buyer but have heard nothing :thinking: .
What is the Ebay etiquette regarding this? The auction ended Monday night.
Am I being too impatient? (the feedback from other sellers says that she is a quick payer).

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

yeah, I'd wait about a week, then raise a dispute to hurry them along if they haven't paid

I'd also give it a week and then email a pleasant reminder, if you don't get any reply to that in 3 or so days email another one and report it to ebay to speed them along. If it was a BIN then they have little excuse, but if it was a bid auction they may just have forgotten/been busy.
