payment reminders

[newtricks4942]

it may just be me but i was quite shocked to receive a payment reminder when;

A; the item i had made an offer on was not out of the 24 hour time period

B: payment reminder immediately sent by seller (not by ebay)

C: felt threatened to pay

If you are seeing these payment reminders and are posting about them here why have you NOT paid yet?

"was not out of the 24 hour time period"

Is there some significance to the 24 hour mark?

A; The seller can accept anytime during that 24 hours - they don't have to wait it out.

B; eBay does send the reminder as soon as the seller accepts. (it's called an invoice)

C; Why? You offered, the seller accepted and eBay has reminded you to do so. Where is the threat?

The seller accepted your offer.  They want to get paid so you can receive your item.

You have 3 days to pay, on the 4th day, you get a strike.

You know how this works, why is it a big deal to get a reminder?

You buy something then you should pay for it immediately.  There is no other platform or company that does this! Typical ebay stupidity

I've always thought the same thing.  

Like how hard is it for ebay to require immediate payment on accepted BIN?  

Ok.  I just thought about that.  Not everyone is on their computer 24-7, you know sleep, work, etc.  

I answered my own this time, pats self on back and moves on to the next post.

The notification that the seller has accepted the offer wouldn’t be a “reminder”. The OP needs to clarify what they’re calling a “reminder”.

There are  other things that get in the way of immediate payments on auction and best offers - like time zone difference and date differences (i.e. International Date Line)

@justafemster 

That is incorrect information. Perhaps you could look up the correct time frame and repost a retraction and correction.

@justafemster 

Sellers can require immediate payment on a BIN.

UGG! I had a long (idiotic) response, then realized I was completely wrong in my terminology! 

I meant immediate payment for an accepted best offer.

Smacks head and goes into the corner where I learn to read AND comprehend!
