How Long Would You Wait?

[Mrs O]

Just wondering how long you would give someone who is supposed to be buying something off you on the market place. I have already given them 10 days and they were supposed to pay on Friday as we agreed but didn't. Sent further pm's and heard nothing Not sure what to do to be honest

I would PM her with another dealdine to pay you by (say a couple more days) and let her know that after that you'll be placing it back in the market place. Or just pm her as a courtesy to say that you're assuming that as you haven't heard from her, she's decided not to buy so you're going back to the market place.
Or am I just a fascist?

[Mrs O]

Thanks for that, but I've just been paid, all sorted now

No Julia, I think you advice is spot on. I particularly like your second idea. I had a similar problem when selling something on the market place. The person did pay but I still haven't heard that my stuff reached her safely!

That's good news.
