Slow payments recently?

Messier2 · Aug 25, 2010

Anyone else notice how slow payments are from ebay buyers? I had 10 items close on Sunday and have yet to receive ONE payment!? (Yes, I give them 1 week so no biggie). I usually get at least half of the payments by this time.

As a buyer, I pay within 24 hrs because I WANT to get MY card as quickly as possible so I pay quick!

I've noticed a lot of slow payments.

Honestly, it doesn't matter to me as to how soon I receive a card ... if it's 2 days or 2 weeks... really doesn't matter that much. Got bigger things to worry 'bout.

I've had auctions that have gone as long as 3 weeks waiting for payment. I've had a rash of NPB lately as well. Very frustrating.

I've been lucky - had 38 items sell on Sunday to about 15 different buyers. All but 2 have paid so far

My only problem with the slow payments is that I'd like to make as few trips to the post office as possible. These stragglers are a bit of nuisance, in that regard.

I hate this so much.

Three days ago, someone asked me why they had to pay 8 dollars in extra fees when shipping was stated at 4.25 in the auction. He then asked me to waive the extra 8 dollars in fees because I hadn't advertised them and quoted me my description.

The 8 dollars in extra fees were, of course, the two other shipping methods and not fees at all. Needless to say, he hasn't paid.

I'm having the same issues.

Killing me. 2 NPBs last week, and I'm yet to receive over $600 from this weeks auctions. No clue why.

Been very lucky with fast payments (same day or next) and have only one NPB right now which has been added to my block list.

I know i have had this happen to me the last 3 weeks making 3 or 4 trips to the post office for the same week long auctions. Its very annoying. I had one guy win 9/24 items and hasnt paid yet which is kindve frustrating especially if he never pays leading me to having to open up a NPB

Yeah why 8 dollars more if shipping was 4.25

and that is high I think. You can mail out 5 cards with mailer and even D/C for 3 and even less if your recycle the mailer and don;t not have to purchase it. Now if that 4.25 was with insurance then I see it. But what is the 8 extra dollars for??

PayPal shipping is the easiest and most convenient method for me.

Even if 20 buyers pay at different times, I just cruise by my PO, pull up to the box, and ship em.

Literally takes an extra 5 mins out of my day.

Albeit annoying to have to do it multiple times

I had three buyers pay me between 8-10 of auction end my last round of selling. Not one of the buyers emailed me to say payments was going to be late or apologize for the late payment. Terrible

same with me too

I'm thinking alot of it may be due to it being back to school time. More money being spent on supplies and books and buyers are putting off paying their "ebay bills".

tooly22 · Aug 25, 2010

This is exactly the issue with me, lack of communication. I allow 7 days for payment and quite frankly have no issue working with anyone who may need a few extra days. The lack of communication is maddening and literally the only time I will willingly file a Non Paying Bidder Claim right at the 7 day mark. Right now I have two auctions totaling a little over $100 that are at the claim status. The kicker is that both buyers have well over 2000 feedback but havent been able to find the time to simply respond to an email.

August has been the slowest paying month for my customers this year. Hopefully that changes.
