<p>[QUOTE=&quot;USS656, post: 1999096, member: 6641&quot;]I normally pay before the seller gets the notification the item has sold. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> But I buy maybe 10 to 20 things a year on ebay and am usually sniping the item I want if it&#039;s not a BIN item.&nbsp; Regardless, 99.99% of the time I am sitting at my PC when the item ends.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A close friend has over 15K feedback (100% positive) as a seller and buyer.&nbsp; He has over 800 items listed at the moment.&nbsp; We got into this discussion in the spring and he said something like ~ I bid early with my high bid for items I want and if I get them, I get them.&nbsp; I often have quite a few items that have open bids on them. Most people I am buying from know me from past transactions.&nbsp; When I get a moment, I sit down and pay for the items I have won. That may be a day, two days, or more.&nbsp; I am just too busy with life&#039;s other demands to micro manage payments when my buying/selling habits are what they are.&nbsp; If the seller contacts him, he explains and pays them.&nbsp; Knowing about how hectic his life is, I get it. With this new automated system, it has likely changed how he managed his payments earlier in the year.&nbsp; Next time I talk with him, I will have to ask.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
