Especially when their stipulated payment terms state payment within five days ? I had intended to collect and pay cash but have now paid by credit card through Paypal just so they get charged commision.</P> Thu, 28 Jul 2016 11:40:15 GMT perrym4305 2016-07-28T11:40:15Z https://community.ebay.co.uk/t5/Member-To-Member-Support-DO-NOT/Payment-period/qaq-p/4937270 <P>Is it fair that sellers are allowed to open an "unpaid item" case after only two days ?
