Payment is preferred as soon as the aution ends. An unpaid item case will be opened after 4 days, this is not meant to scare our customers but simply a precaution on our part to make sure we stay ahead of all shipments. Once the unpaid item case is initiated the customer has another 4 days to make the payment. If the item is not paid by this time, eBay will automatically cancel the transaction and we will relist the item. The buyer will be banned to bid on any future auctions.
