buyer given 7 days to pay for an item

Question

I sold an item at auction and got a message from Ebay that the buyer has 7 days to pay because they may want to shop more. I was under the impression that 4 days is the limit to pay. Is this a new policy? Is this something that I as a seller can opt out of?

Thanks

If you require buyers to provide a payment method prior to bidding AND allow combined shipping in your account settings then the buyer may choose to keep bidding for 7 days before paying. This is a change that many auction sellers asked for. You can read about the 7 days to pay for combined shipping on auctions here>
