Some Advice about Selling and holding items?

[silk-locket]

Hi, I have had stuff on hold that I was selling for about a week now, the buyer said they would pay me monday and requested a paypal request. But since then they never replied, I wrote them yesterday and yet they have been on and never once acknowledged the PM. I have had several people want to buy the items on hold, but I just don't know if I should sell them. :/

I hold items for 48 hours maximum....that's after someone has said that they are definitely interested in purchasing the item.  I sometimes (but rarely) make special arrangements on a case-by-case basis if they make plans to pay on a specific date (like if they get paid on Friday, they'll pay on Friday).  If it's past the date they say they will pay, I send one follow-up PM to check up.  If I don't get a response from THAT in 48 hours, the item goes back up for sale.  Generally there's a response by that point, but if the person has been on and is ignoring the PM, I'd be inclined to take that as "No, I'm no longer interested".

It seems that that buyer has done to you what a lot of buyers on here have been doing to sellers recently: Deciding against buying and leaving the seller hanging. See this thread: http://mlparena.com/index.php/topic,338445.msg905568.html#msg905568

I would just move on. You've given the buyer plenty of time. You've held up your side of the bargain. They obviously are a deadbeat buyer or what on eBay would be termed a non-paying bidder.
