Hi,

I sold an item on eBay and the buyer has 0 feedback and is not selling anything. He never paid nor made contact. What is the process? How long do I have to edit before reporting him and should I email him?

Thanks everyone

I would contact him with a gentle reminder. Sometimes newbies are unaware to pay and they need prodding. Other times, they're fake accounts. Standard is 3-4 days and you can open a case with eBay if it is not paid. I've had this happen several times and it was not a big deal (although aggravating that my item had to be relisted!) One of my buyers I think something awful must have happened to her, as she had a lot of very positive feedback as a buyer and seller and then all of a sudden her feedback (as I was waiting for payment) were from her buyers saying item never shipped, seller not answering back....she never answered mine or eBay's messages either Sad

So sorry this has happened to you. I've sold a lot on eBay, and have dealt with a non-paying buyer. Generally, if I do not receive payment in 3 days, I send an invoice and reminder email. I give them 1 day to respond. If I hear nothing, I open a case with eBay. Yes, it is a pain, but you must do it. Without a resolved case for non-payment, eBay will charge you seller's fee, whether you have received payment or not!
