Ebay sellers - BIN buyer question

Ive read all the stories about non-payers, but BINs? I understand wanting to claim the card and continue shopping to combine s/h...but most of my cards were sold without another card for sale, or the card(s) for sale were re-running and not new BINs. Is this experience pertaining just to BINs equal to yours? How often do they never pay just pertaining to BINs? I always pay within 24 hrs and BINs immediately after shopping that sellers other items.

Thanks

Steven, I don't understand your issue with those buyers. Looks to me like they all paid within a timely fashion. I've had both Auction-Style and Buy It Win winners and I give everyone seven days (sometimes more if they need it) to pay. I'm curious what your issue is?

I just do not understand buying a BIN and then paying 3 days later...why not just pay?

Most of my purchases are BIN and I will pay anywhere between 24-72 hours. What's the big deal?

Not a big deal...why not pay immediately though? Just a question...

I get where Steven's coming from...if the buyer is hitting 'BIN' it's the equivalent of walking into a B&M and buying the card, no? You don't walk out of a store with a '33 Goudey Ruth and tell the shopkeep, "Be back in 4 days with your money!"

I suspect people who BIN and then take a few days to pay are probably used to EBAY's rule allowing 'reasonable time for payment to be made.'

I also bet that some people see an item they want, BIN it even though payday is 4 or 5 days away...

just my $0.02

I know that sometimes I take a little longer 1-2 days with BIN/Auction depending on when payday is and also if I am using bill me later where you get 6 months interest free on total purchases of $99 and an extra 1% in ebay bucks. It doesn't have to be from the same seller, just paid for on the same day as you pay for the other items to make sure you total at least $99. When I do sell I give 5-7 sometimes more days to pay as that is what it would take the old fashioned way of money order or personal checks. Just offering a little insight from someone who at times does not pay right after hitting the BIN. Drew

I do the same thing, Drew. Sometimes I pay immediately and sometimes I take three days.

If you want to get paid immediately, then use that option. If you want to get paid within 24 hours, then stipulate that in your auction description.

If you want to get paid immediately, I believe there is an option that you can set where the buyer is informed that (paraphrasing) "That the buyer demands immediate payment." Or, you can stipulate in your item description that you want payment within 24 hours. You have many options to choose from.
