Buyer doesn’t pay for agreed upon offer
This buyer offered me $500 for an item that I had listed for $800 even though the item itself is worth $1500. But I accepted the offer because I want to be done with it. But now this buyer isn’t even paying the agreed upon amount: what is the recourse for tying up my item for 7 days ?

Mentor3 years agoIf the buyer has not paid by day 4, on day 5 the seller can file a Cancellation with the reason Buyer didn't pay. The seller gets his/her FVF credited, the buyer gets an unpaid strike recorded on his account, no one can leave feedback. Two or more unpaid strikes, and the buyer will find it difficult to bid/buy from sellers who block buyers with 2 or more unpaid strikes. Do you have your Buyer Blocks in place?

As a new seller, you are ripe for scammers. List as fixed price with Immediate Payment Required (you will need to switch to the advanced/business tool for that option, which is located in the upper right corner of the Quick Listing Tool), no Best Offers, and your listing will stay active until someone actually pays for the item.
