Title might be confusing, but here is what I'm getting at:
I have always paid for items in chronological order, and promptly at that. But even if it were to take a few days, I would always pay chronologically, it just made sense.
Does anyone here pay at different speeds based on price?
This question is stemming from an incident (ongoing) I am having on eBay with an item (in the $150-200 range) which a new buyer won about 14 days ago. In the meantime I have seen him rack up almost 20 positive feedback comments for much cheaper items, which were won AFTER mine ended. I have not heard a word from him (3 invoices, 2 emails, 1 unpaid item case), and though he has glowing feedback over the past month since he joined (30+ positives), it has me worried.
So my question is, why on earth would you pay for more recently-won items, when you have items you won further in the past still awaiting payment? I can understand if there is an issue with piping-hot flip-worthy cards you just have to have fast, for resale purposes ... but that is surely not the case here. If anything my item is much hotter than the cheaper stuff he is actually paying for.
Sorry if none of this made sense, but I'm looking for input from the savvy eBay vets here!
