A buyer for my ebay item hasnt paid yet, what should i do?

Some won a bid on one of my items 2 days ago, but im still waiting her payment. I have sent her an invoice and have contacted the buyer but had no reply. how long should i leave it until i report an unpaid item? i have looked her feedback and its all positive.

Answer:
Two days is not unusual at all, to have to wait for a payment. A lot of people pay right away, within the first couple of days. Most of the rest, pay in the first week and a few stragglers take a little longer and sometimes require a reminder. But usually the payment will get there within a week. However Ebay does have some guidelines to follow and some actions you can take, although I've never had to use them:

"Sellers can report an Unpaid Item up to 45 days after the transaction date (i.e. the date when the buyer commits to buying the item and the seller commits to selling it). Usually the seller must wait 7 days after a listing closes to file an Unpaid Item Dispute. However, in the following exceptional cases, the seller can file a dispute immediately:

At the time of the filing the buyer is no longer a registered user of eBay.
The seller and buyer wish to mutually withdraw from the transaction.
In the first case the buyer will receive an Unpaid Item strike and the seller will receive a Final Value Fee credit without any additional steps.

In the second case the seller must file the dispute for mutual withdrawal. If the buyer responds to the dispute and agrees, the seller will receive a Final Value Fee credit and no strike will be given to the buyer. If the buyer fails to respond, the seller can still close the dispute to receive a Final Value Fee credit, and the buyer will not receive an Unpaid Item strike."

I would give them a couple of days. I have had the same thing happen once or twice. Give them about a week. you haven't mailed the item yet have you? Do not mail it until you have payment.
