quick update: well, it seems that it won't be an easy ride. I've just been asked, if I can wait for a few days...

Damn, that sucks. I hate when people do that.
It's not always bad though. Maybe he really does need a few days.
This has happened to me on here twice in the last few weeks, and both times the "buyers" flaked. It happens. Hoping it all works out for you though.

Did the auction give a payment time requirement? If not then they have a good deal of time to pay unfortunately.

I now always add 2-3 tops for expected payment.

It should be common courtesy to pay immediately... that is what I like done so it is what I do.


Hope it works out! I really want on of those MoCs... I actually had someone offer to sell me one for $700 but I didn't have the cash.

Plus I just recently had a contact find the PS3 version of the Darksiders promo disc (just a regular promo disc so not that expensive).

yeah sucks...i always do payment requited within 24 hours...than after someone won they need time to transfer money to paypal etc.

this sucks with auction...better to do buy it now and force direct payment through paypal.

Well if you don't care about eBay taking a higher percentage of the final value then you should do Buy It Now... I have shyed away from it especially with Video Games where they take 13% for a BIN auction plus PayPals couple percent.

well. no response after initial "please give me some time".
seems like a bummer.

ebay uk its both 10 percent fee.

Also when you put buy it now price you can often negotiate with buyer outside the feebay.

I am very sorry to hear that... some people are just dishonest or over zealous.

how much feedback did buyer have?

I really wished you could close auctions like this off for people with less than 50 feedback.

ps: dont forget, you can make second offer to other bidders!
