selling

Great news, your item sold. Now it’s time to get it ready.

Hi Steven,

Your buyer hasn't paid yet, so hold onto the item until you receive payment. We'll send your buyer a reminder to pay within 48 hours.

Hmmm, Now I have an item the entire weekend on hold. Hmmm.

There's an empty space in a building on main street. Cash in hand. maybe try that.

Good going... take the weekend off!

On day 5 after it sold, cancel for non payment and they get a non payment ding. 

Was this just a share, or do you have a question?

I see 9 items on sale but no recent sales. Are you sure you sold something, or is that simply a message you received?

[soh.maryl]

Surely you didn't believe you'd be paid immediately, did you?

Don't exactly understand what the problem is.

Just a share @redmodelt 

How come somebody can buy one of my items with no money involved while they may or may not buy and hold up another possible sell for two days (48 hrs.)?

Bad business. How do I cancel this sell without a blemish on my record?

Since your listings are fixed price, why not make them IPR. Then an item isn't "on hold" waiting for payment. It's not considered to be sold until it's paid for.

You accommodate the buyer, should they request cancellation. That would give you no seller 'ding'.

The buyer may not have realized they 'bought' the item, but didn't follow through with payment (newer buyer?)

Anyway; as stated- the permanent work around for this item and every item you ever want to sell here, ever again, is to click the box that says 'Immediate Payment Required'. Now, anytime someone clicks 'buy it now', it has to be paid for or it's still available for anyone else to buy.

Correct @a_c_green 

I've been on what I guess you would call a medical sabbatical. Had to take some time off. More Monday, yippie!!!

I'm just trying to settle the books. If you understand and know what that means.?

[redmodelt]

You did not provide any real information in your first post. We are not eBay and can't see everything going on with your account. Nothing showing under sold. Did that notice come from eBay on your selling page or eBay messages?

@albertabrightalberta 

Not my words, eBay's. I don't want my sells on hold. If you want to buy something, buy it! that's what I do.

What's, "IPR"? I'm not familiar with that acronym.

Immediate Payment Required.

As suggested, you can use "immediate payment required".  You also need to get rid of the "best offer" feature.  Generally speaking, if you accept a "best offer" it typically negates the need for the buyer to pay immediately.  You may have to play the eBay 'whack a mole' game if ebay decides to add the best offer feature for you, even if you don't want it.  You can revise and delete same, but they just put it back on there like they are doing you a favor instead of annoying you. 

(There is a new feature that SOMETIMES requires a BUYER ID to provide a payment source BEFORE eBay allows them to even submit an offer.  That payment source is immediately charged should the seller accept.  This is new, and not readily available for all transactions, and there is no way to know if the buyer is enrolled or not. )
