Usually the buyer ends up apologizing to me for being late, and paying their bill.
Of course there are exceptions, but it's worked for me so far.
...........and yes, payments have gotten noticeably slower since Ebay took away feedback power from Sellers.
I've also gone from having one or two deadbeats a year, to a half dozen or so a year.

Of course if you get an honorable buyer this will happen. Not worth it in my opinion. Playing it safe when it comes to eBay is a good idea. Stay unnoticed and the odds of selling limits and other things eBay does to sellers go way down.
