Just started selling after a long time and have several buyers requesting combined shipping. As a general rule, about how long would you go before “closing out” the tab? I have a couple of buyers that would go 4 or 5 days (or even longer ) before paying.
thanks for any advice

I think it depends a bit. I sell antiques. People sometime take a few days to pay. After three days, I usually send an invoice (although you might do that sooner to show the combined shipping rate. Could they be waiting for that?).
The another reminder at a week. At 10 days, I file an unpaid. That's probably loser than other sellers but not everyone lives in I gotta have tomorrow world of Amazon and can make a purchase and wait awhile.

I do send a combined invoice out. He just keeps buying catalogs (they’re pretty reasonable). So I’m constantly updating the invoice. I suppose I could just be more patient.
thanks for the perspective
