Why the **** do people wait 3 days to pay, just pay after you win so you can have your **** sooner.

Someone might see something they want, bid on it and win but not have the funds available for a few days. Shouldn't be an issue if the unless the seller specifically requires payment within 24 hours or something.

thanks bro repped
I did it on my phone but when I list items from now on I will check that option
I know why buy it now and not pay right away? thats such BS, I needed the dough so I could pay lubed up resale I gotta pay for the Kobe 9s these were the kobe 8 xmas GC version I sold, you know at least respond to my messages and say I will pay in a few days instead of telling me your paying that night and then not then ignore all my messages, thats so wack
I have sold a lot of items on the bay and never had a buyer flake this bad you know what it is I got a new iphone so all my ebay settings got reset usually I have buyer restrictions setup for people with low feedback, time to reset that option and the guy said he was a collector too

well I specifically required payment after auction and mine was a buy it now not an auction and that didnt work, like blastercombo said above you physically have to change it to pay immediately

I won some jordans the other day for a deal, i didnt pay until about 3 hours after.
i then noticed seller had relisted and sold to someone else. I messaged him and he said they were mine and not to worry. Next day he says he cant find the item.
Negative feedback was delivered to this punk

You can require whatever you want, if you do an auction though, you run the risk of bidders who either won't pay or will pay when they feel like paying.
Technically, ebay gives the buyers a few days to pay after they win the auction. You need to wait 4 days before opening the dispute.
Ideally you want a quick purchase but that's how it works with ebay.
Bin immediate payment required is the way to go on most items to weed out the undesirable buyers.

see now thats messed up I wouldn't do that do a buyer, especially if they stay in contact and let me know they are going to pay in a few hours or whatever
def leave him negative feedback
the guy bought my listing Sunday at like 1:55 am and said he was paying in a few hours which is fine but its Tuesday guy never payed and has ignored all messages, thats beat and I will leave him negative feedback

If your the seller you can't leave negative feedback which totally sucks.
To the other guys story where he won the shoes for a good deal and paid a few hours later and the seller gave him some dumb excuse. I hope you reported him to ebay.
I hate sellers like that. If you let an auction run its course, you risk taking a L. Don't want to take that risk, don't be so damn cheap and set a reserve. I sold a blank milwaukee bucks authentic a few weeks back for a penny plus shipping because only one person bid on it and I accidently had it end at a bad time. It sucked, but I held up my end of the bargain and honored the sale.

I'm always weary of buying sneakers on eBay. 9/10 you're dealing with a teenager. You know how that goes.

you know that is really stupid that you cant leave negative feedback
I have 90 transactions 100 percent positive I sell my items for a fair price I usually look out on shipping when I buy items I pay ASAP so I am a good ebayer my feedback speaks for itself and these flakers and dishonest sellers piss me off man

Any item that's popular with teenagers will bring out problematic sellers and buyers. I blame it on the maturity level and lack of accountability at that age. Not all teems and younger heads are but alot are until they learn how things work but with sneakers you get alot of sellers who won't honor a sale if the item sells for less then they would like or if their a buyer they'll bid on numerous of the same item and only pay for the one they won for the lowest amount.

I don't see an option for a Buy it Now with immediate payment. Maybe cause I don't qualify?

People shouldn't be spending money they don't have.
I've had someone use BIN on one of my auctions, he won the auction and then messaged me asking if I could wait until next week when he got paid...
...And I clearly stated in the auction, payment is due withing 24hrs of auctions end if the buyer has 5 or less feedback ratings....Anyways, I told him I could not wait and he cussed me out and left me my one and only negative feedback...
I messaged eBay and they won't remove it...And to top it off, I couldn't leave him negative feedback...I checked last week and now this buyer is unregistered with eBay, must have gotten suspended because I know I reported his *** so I'm sure others did too...

People bid a certain amount on multiple auctions for the same item and then buy whatever is the cheapest.
You gotta realize eBay only works if people care about their feedback. If not then there really is no consequence

You shouldn't have the BIN option without immediate payment required if you want to get paid immediately. That's on you.People shouldn't be spending money they don't have.

In all other cases, unless there's a written rule stating that the buyer has to buy within said time frame, he can pay when he wants (within reason). Just the way it is.
Personally, I don't think I've ever waited longer than 3 days to pay for something I won.

I'm not really big on that people shouldn't spend money they don't have stuff. Minus whale not use credit cards for those who use them then.
If I see an item I want but will have the excess funds to cop in a reasonable timeframe, 1-3 days, ill bid, win and pay within that timeframe. Ill let the seller know the deal though. I'm not going to punish myself and miss out on an item when I intend on paying within a reasonable time frame.
I don't blame that dude for telling the buyer who wanted to pay a week later to kick rocks though because that's being unrealistic on the buyers part.
Like I said earlier. We all want quick payments as a seller, but you can't place demands outside of the timeframe to pay ebay has up.
Just do the buy it now immediate payment required route if you want to get paid right away.
As a seller, ill give them a few days if their feedback is decent and they take the initiative to contact me. Communication is always key either way though.

Did you lose money on this? With paypal fees and eBay fees, aren't you losing out? Or did you put shipping for higher than it actually cost you?
I usually put shipping at what it's going to cost me but I've been thinking of raising it by a few bucks where it's reasonable so I'll have little bit more left over

I lost money. I paid $8 each to buy a ton of blank nba authentics though so I didn't lose alot and I sold quite a few for a decent amount.
