I always pay for auctions on ebay right after I have won them but what is roughly the maximum amount of time you have to pay for an item after winning it? -PP
I also have a Great seller that I buy coins from on a regular basis that will combine all my purchases for up to a month. Once he did it for 2 months! I've built a good relationship with him so he doesn't mind if I'm a bit late.
It's pretty much up to the seller. From a brand-new bidder on one of my coins, I invoice the sale immediately and then follow up with an email if I haven't heard from them in 4 working days. If I ever go 10 working days without contact, I'll file NPB. So far, I've yet to have a non-paying bidder.
One thing sellers should always do is to spell it out in the auction terms (i.e. payment is due within 10 days of the end of the auction). As a seller, you should invoice right away after the auction ends to get the ball rolling. When I sold on ebay, I liked to followup with a reminder roughly halfway through if I hadn't heard anything from the buyer. The key is to be courteous and to offer them a chance to pay late if they need to but to insist on some sort of communication. Afterall, we're not mind readers right? :)
