Timespan for collecting purchase

If I purchase a large item how long as a time frame do I have to collect?

No set time.

Contact seller and sort between yourselves.

You have to pay through ebay before you can get sellers address.

Thank you. I am going away for 1 week so collection would n
Be delayed by about 10 days. I’m wondering if that sounds too long? The seller hasn’t responded yet

This is entirely up to the seller.

IMO it's normally reasonable for both parties to to allow about a week for collection, unless the listing gives a deadline. Anything much over that and it's wise to message the seller to check before bidding.

Remember that you have to pay through eBay's checkout to get the seller's address and receive the QR code they will need before releasing the item. Cash on collection is not allowed.
