    How long does it take eBay buyers to pay for item after winning Bid?

    I sold an item, and still waiting for the payment for 2 days now.

    So how long does it take?

    2 days is ok. I usually pay immediately, but some buyers leave it for days.
    Not everyone is on the internet 24/7 - some people only check their email every few days, so may not even realize they've won.

    It can be done very quickly. You'll have to wait at least a week to complain though, IIRC.

    Same with me. Just look at their feedback and you will find out if they were serious bidders or not.

    That will depend on their payment method.

    2 days sounds long for me, I usually pay for my won auctions a few minutes after I win

    you can complain after a week; I'd let the buyer know you're going to notify Ebay and give them a chance to pay before you contact Ebay - that usually gets them to pay up.

    Most sellers will have a pament instructions on the invioce for the customer who has won the bid...some sellers instrut to pay withend 10 days and some offer 7 days while others offer 5 days or less for a winning bider to pay.

    Just see the payment instruction of each seller at ebay ...if you don't see the payment instructions email the seller before making a bid or buy to find out the payment instructions.

    Ebay sellers have payment instruction on Invoices for there customers and each one has there own customize payment instructions.

    2 days isn't excessive but it seems like forever in ebay time I know. I once had to wait like 2 days and the deadbeat was all....my PC crashed and I couldn't cancel my bid...WHY DID YOU BID ON THE ITEM THEN!!! I wanted to smack him upside the head!

    send him a reminder! everyday if you have to!!

    It depends on the buyer! I have been paid within a minute of the auction ending, sometimes it takes 5 days. You have to remember not everyone is online as much as you might be! So be patient

    You gotta check the rules, and be patient, or you'll get the negative reputation. Follow the guidelines that eBay provides on your account page.

    I think you can sell again. Tell ebay you are relisting due to a non-paying member!

    Yes report, and you will be refunded your listing fees or can relist for free.
