    I haven't sold on Ebay for some months as i've moved over to OZtion ... but from memory you get the value fee back but not the advertising fees ... hopefully it has changed since those Ebay rules ??

    If you sold on OZtion you would get ALL fees$ back (though not as many buyers there and can take longer to sell items )

    Hi

    I'm also selling a few things for the first time - the listings are currently active and only 1 has bids.

    How do you establish how long they have to make payment - can you set this up when you set up the listing?

    Thanks.

    Buliej ... you should be able to nominate payment duration when you listed the items or at least you use to be able to ... there might still be a live chat help line on eBay to ask if you still can ... (sorry haven't sold on eBay recently and i do know their rules can change at times so you might want to confirm what i've mentioned above )

    I've had this happened to me also. I listed the item as payment within 5 days and contact within 2. I didn't receive payment.
    I did send a follow up message and still didn't a response. I did report them as non paying also.
    If you say payment within a certain period of time, i'd send a f/up just reminding them of your payment terms. See if they respond!

    I would send them another email telling them they have another few days (up to you how many) to respond, and if you do not hear from them regarding payment within that time frame, you will be reporting them as a non-paying bidder. I think it's best to give a warning first - just to give them the benefit of the doubt, as there could be a perfectly legitimate reason for why they have not contacted you yet.
