Payment timeframe?
I sold an item in an auction that ended Apr. 3. The buyer told me he received a message that payment was due on Apr. 27. Does eBay do this? Why give the buyer nearly one month to pay?

Mentor2 years agoI think your buyer is mistaken, and needs to pay by April 7.
If 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 (since you haven't sold in a year), 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.
