How long to wait for a payment on an Auction.

[kitkatscollections]

I'm wondering how long I wait to receive a payment on an auction that ended 3 days ago.    I haven't listed auctions in a while and of my only sale didn't pay for it.   How long do I wait to file for an unpaid item?

You can open a UPI case as soon as 48 hours have passed with no payment. That will give they buyer 4 more days to pay. If they really want it they pay if not they get an unpaid item strike.  After 4 days you close the case, get your fees back and then relist. Bing Bang Boom!

Hope this helps!

 Thank you, I forgot how to do it.  I list fixed price with immediate payment required.   Now I remember why I don't list auctions anymore.
