What do I do now

[Huddylion]

Well thought I had sold my first item but heard nothing from buyer, what happens next, can I cancel so I don't get charged the fees or do I take it on the chin

Just had your first proper payed sale

Not sure, but rather than wait silently then send a trio of reminders close together, doesn't it make more sense to send them spread out, starting sooner? If you're going to wait, say, three weeks in total, then send them at weekly intervals, surely?

Sorry should have said 'at least' 24 hours apart as that is what eBid stipulate. You can send them whenever you like ! I just prefer to send out my own emails both on the AAL and direct to the buyer's email address before I start sending out the clinical payment reminders.

They may be caught up in the email problem from earlier in the week,

Economy is bad, the holidays are upon us, give them at least a week to answer and pay. Don't assume it is a bad sale just because you did not hear from them right away. Probably out Christmas shopping.

If someone doesnt pay, I send them a reminder approx 14 days later.

If they dont pay - no biggie - life goes on.

There could be numerous reasons why they dont pay / contact etc etc.

Even on ebay I dont issue npb alerts - I just cancel the transaction and get my fvf back - the buyer agrees and doesnt get a strike - and we both get on with life.

Even back in the days when we could leave neg fb for npbs, I didnt do it.

However, I do add npbs to my bbl - on all sites - that way they at least have to contact me if they want to purchase in the future - and it has happened several times.
People can learn as much from fb you leave for others, as they can from your own fb.

I do appreciate what everybody has said, but would I be allowed to walk into a store on the high street and buy something and say I will pay whenever, surely if you click buy it now that is what it means. It's only a watch but I wouldn't be so put out if the buyer communicated with me but not a word!!

It can be very annoying when communication isn't happening. But it seems to be increasing, and I think it's something we will have to grin and bear.
