Buyer hasn't paid for item on eBay?

Ebay item sent money in pending?

• Hi I sold I computer on ebay the buyer paid and i sent it off the buyer has signed for it on the 4th november 09 but hasnt left feedback yet and the money is in paypal pending. I understand why its in pending and that the buyer has to leave feeback or i have to wait 21 days with out any problems from the buyer. This is so frustrating I have messaged the buyer and heard nothing from him even tho hes been buying item on ebay and leaving other feedback! I know posts like this are common i just wanted to get it all of my chest lol im worried hes going to come back in 7 days or so and say oh theres something wrong with it when there isnt and start trying to get the money back as the items hes buying are computer things like memory ram so i hoe hes not going to change conponents in the computer and try and give it back. Anyway im going to try and relax now! and hope everything works out ok the buyer by the way has got 173 possative feedbacks green star paypal is confirmed anyway people have a good weekend all kell xx

• Answer:

  As he has 173 positive feedbacks you should be pretty safe. He may well be wanting to use it for a week to make sure there are no spasmodic faults or he could just be a very busy guy who has not had time to give it a good test yet. Once you get up to 173 positive feedbacks you start getting higher prices for the items you sell as you have the equivalent to a good credit history. You do not put that record at risk easily. I don't think that you need worry. Remember also that many people spend little time on their computers, some times only logging on a couple of times a week. The parcel was signed for on the 4th, it is only the 6th so you are really being very pessimistic to start worrying this early on.
