Immediate Payment Required Question

       I have been selecting the Immediate Payment Required when listing items lately. What is the time limit on this? I made a sale last night for an item to a person who has TEN negative comments about not paying (yes, they are positive feedback, but the "seller beware, customer never paid and ignored emails" comments are still there, but they are all over a year old. There are also about 50 feedback saying the customer paid.

     I currently have the box checked about limiting buyers who didn't pay etc. but I imagine that went out the window after one year, right? I wish there was a way to limit the amount of time for payment less than four days. I'm hoping this customer pays, but I won't hold my breath. I'm also guessing that sellers didn't report the non-payments in the past and that's why they still have an open account. I was tempted to send them a message acknowledging that I'm aware of the non-payments, but just decided to wait it out, figuring there's an 85% chance they'll pay. 

     Anyways, if they don't pay I can offer a Second Chance offer to someone that has like 13,000 positive feedback, so hopefully my Plan B is solid LOL. Basically, I'm just asking about the time limit for IPR as I could not find it. Thanks for reading my novel.

Just some food for thought! I know you’re not a fan of opinions from those who aren’t too familiar with certain things. 😉


Yes normally it's 'pet peeve at best, infuriating at worst', but in this case I was asking for theories (on the new, separate thread I started about it tonight), so it's kind of a free-for-all thing. 

So far the consensus is like what you said.
