I've noticed a pattern about Slow-to-Pay Buyers...

Has anyone else noticed a pattern about buyers who don't pay immediately after an auction ends? I list weekly. When my auctions end, the majority of my winning bidders pay immediately. Usually, within minutes of the auction's end, if not the hour. BUT, there's always about 1, 2, or 3 buyers that never pay. Most have a very low feedback rating. But this last round of auctions that have ended, I have 2 buyers with somewhat high (and positive) feedback ratings who are not paying as quickly as you would think  someone who knows their way around eBay would. 
Can anyone else weigh in on this?  Is this common?
Does anyone else notice that the bidders who don't pay within about 15 minutes of the auction ending, are probably not, and usually are not going to pay?

All generalities are false, including this one.........  Not sure what it matters if your supposition is true, at least some of the time?

Many put in their high bid days before the auction ends. Not everyone is going to pay 15 mins after. Some might be sleeping, taking a shower, eating or they are just not glued to a device like others might be.

Will not insult by asking if you realize that they have at least 4 days to pay, and that you can open an unpaid item case on day #5.
