How soon do YOU pay?

[Cool.Breeze]

If I'm bidding on something, I always make sure I have enough in my Paypal to make an instant payment right after I win (assuming I don't need an invoice, in that scenario I pay as soon as I get the email). I figure it's only fair to treat other sellers as I'd want to be treated, plus it gives me peace of mind to pay off the debt immediately. When selling I do usually give buyers 5 days to pay, but I definitely appreciate payment within 24 hours so I can get everything shipped and done.

I usually pay within 24 hours. If it's a BIN, I pay right away. But I'm not always at the computer when I win an auction, so I have to wait until I am home or awake or have an invoice. I'm usually really excited for my pony or ponies to come, so I want to pay for them right away because the sooner I pay, the sooner they can be shipped!

I always pay as soon as I know the total. Sometimes I've asked nicely if it was okay to pay within a couple days if I knew my salary was about to be paid, but those times I would have had the money to pay immediately if the sellers had wished so. If I don't have the money, I don't bid, and if I have the money there's no reason to hold it. The sooner I pay the sooner I'll get my ponies sent to me!

I chose 24-48 hours.  Although I did forget about something I bid on before I went on vacation once  and it was almost a week before I paid. I felt like a heel.

Usually immediately after I win the auction.

[pallas]

I'm pretty fast on the payment, usually it's right after auction ends, sometimes I wait for an invoice but usually I don't bother. 

[PandaBerryInSpace]

Crap, I voted the wrong one. >.< Anyway, I always pay immediately after buying.

[Rhubarbpie]

On ebay, usually within 24 hours after winning, I am not always there when I win some auctions.  BIN's are usually immediately paid.  Whilst I will on occasion ask for a pony/ponies to be held for a couple of days until I get paid, I will pay as soon as I am able to, usually within a few hours and always before 24 hours.

[NinaMarie]

I pay immediately or soon as possible if auction ends when I'm not around.
I did embarrassingly once forget about an auction I won and it wasn't until several days later when i got an email reminder that I paid. I felt pretty terrible about it
felt like I almost became one of those dreaded NPBs 

[Icecrystalline]

Immediately. As soon as the auction is over. Always. By phone or laptop, either way, I make sure I pay.

[Skeen]

If it's a BIN with shipping costs already explained, immediately.  Otherwise, for auctions, always the next time I log on after it's over, usually no more than 24 hours. 

[Mandy85]

If it's a BIN, I normally pay immediately after committing to the purchase. If it's multiple items from the same seller, I'll wait for an invoice for a combined total and then try to pay within a 12 hour span. If I win an auction at night and I'm exhausted, sometimes I'll leave it till the morning or after work, but I try to get everything taken care of as soon as possible. I also never buy anything that I don't have the money to pay for in my account outright.

As a seller, I'm a bit more lenient and expect payment within 72 hours. I may wait on a payment longer if the buyer is trustworthy and keeps in contact with me, but I hate being strung along

[achab1984]

I feel when you do a buy it now you should pay right away. But if you cant please send a message to the seller. I have had this happen many times and they waited to send payment. I feel you shoudl pay right away. Alot of bidders seem to be paying like two to three days after it ends.

[NoPonySpecial]

 Another one here who pays right away, invoices notwithstanding. Besides the fact that I'd probably forget if I left it alone, I don't like to buy things unless I have the money right then, and feel it's irresponsible to shop unless you are capable of paying immediately.

[RedKitsune]

I always pay immediately. It makes the seller happy and I get to know that item will be going to me and not a rival bidder, LOL
