buyer never paid ebay says wait four days seems unfair especial when bids the last second and no pay

[blues4u2newell]

48 hours is more than enough time 24 hours would be fair so we can relist and sell items not just leave them in limbo...

any ideas on how to fix this I called eBay they give the run around

The 4 day wait was just very recently (this Spring) reduced from 6 days, so it is extremely unlikely eBay would shorten it further at this time.

Patience is needed to buy or sell on eBay.  You need to accept that other people are required to follow eBay's rules (which now specifically gives the buyer 4 days to pay) rather than yours.

I agree, but when a person bids the last seconds of an auction to win, they know they won.  then they don't pay you and your item is held up for five days sitting in limbo due to their actions or lack of action 'like paying you, it gets to be frustrating. You would be surprised how often this happens.
