I don't usually sell on eBay but I recently sold a bunch of cards and I was wondering how long I should give them to pay?

I, personally, ALWAYS pay for cards straight away so I'm not sure what's taking these people so long.

How long should I give them? And what do I do to take it further? or do I just re-list the stuff?

Cheers!

I usually send them an invoice every 24 hours, then if no communication has been made or no payment, I open a dispute as soon as I'm allowed to.

I give them 5 to 7 days to make payment but normally send a message if payment isn't made after 3 days. No payment just lodge a non paying bidder dispute (people have a limited amount of non paying 'strikes') and then relist - the non paying bidder dispute takes a while and basically ensures you get any ebay fees refunded to your account.

Give them a few days, sometimes people win auctions and can't pay straight away.

5 days, unless they contact me and make other arrangements. then non-payment claim which gives them another 5 days.

5 days is a reasonable amount of time.

If you have a look at ebay policy though
http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/unpaid-item.html
If a buyer doesn't pay within 4 days, sellers can open an unpaid item case in the Resolution Center. If the buyer still doesn't pay or reach some other agreement with the seller, eBay may record the unpaid item on the buyer's account.

Well, Tomorrow is the 5-day mark. So I'm guessing I'll still have a DeMarcus Cousins RPA

Some people are weird like that, waiting till you take serious action before they pay. I don't get it
