    how long after purchase to you wait for someone topay

    before relisting or makinga second chance offer?
    I sold somethin on ebay over a week ago, with terms including contacting me, and paying within a set time limit.
    No contact, no payment, time limit is well over.

    I have sent 2 invoices and a message through ebay.
    Should I ring the buyer?
    Or just relist/second chance offer the item?

    I would ring the buyer out of politeness, because maybe they have tried to pay but are having trouble. If they don't reply, leave a message saying that unless they contact you within a specific amount of time then you will re-list the item.

    I specify payment within 5 days, have only had someone not pay within this time once. I sent them an email saying that if I didn't get payment within the next week I would report them as a non paying bidder which I ended up doing. They then get a week to respond, I got no response so then offered the second chance to the next highest bidder
