Also, those items do not fit your original claim of selling a card on Sunday. It appears, and again I will stress appear, that you have gotten all worked up over the $2.85 graded card lot, and are trying to change the story a little after Steve's $2.00 comment. Not a big deal. We live and learn. I would suggest as others that you relax a little.

I sold a card on Sunday night and I have a three-day payment policy. So, according to "my" payment terms set forth in the auction, as of this morning, an unpaid item is late, right? Payment was due by Wednesday evening.
If it's not, then gumby is right, call in a prescription for Xanax.

From cover to cover. I missed the first implosion, and I don't want to make that mistake again. You asked if you were still a liar, addressed or not, the answer is yes.
I'm perplexed by your payment terms. Why the rush? Why do something that you can not enforce through ebay? ebay clearly states that payment terms are SEVEN days from close of auction. And then, if I am correct, its another EIGHT days before you can close the dispute and qualify for a FVF refund.
Out of the 1000 or so items I've sold 75 percent are paid for within the first three days. Those sending checks usually arrive within seven days. Less than two percent of my sales are completed after ten days and I've only had five or six sales that were never completed.
Why dictate to your customers? Go with the flow and be happy!

I prefer to pay for my Ebay purchases via USPS MO (Less problems with my wife). Because of my work schedule I can only make it to the PO on Thursday. I email sellers to let them know when I will pay them and 99% have had no problem with when and how I pay. When I see a listing with terms like PP only or payment required in 24Hrs. / 3 Days, I move on - not bidding on the item. So IMHO you are discouraging buyers from bidding on your auctions.

If a buyer has not paid in 72 hours you need to either refuse payment (you can relist the item if you want) or start charging interest. If you do not do that, you really do not have any three day policy at all so stop saying you do
IMHO, trying to instill a 3-day payment policy (which the only reason I can assume that you use, is to get your money faster than ebay wants you to have it) is only going to turn away potential bidders or cause problems and lose future or reoccuring buyers. If ebay has a policy that an NPB cannot be reported until 7 days after the auction end, than you have absolutely no grounds to do anything about a buyer not paying after only 3 days, so why would you want to turn off potential business because of a 4 day payment window between yours and ebays?
I think you need to readjust your payment policy to the 7 days, especially with the new feedback rules. Would you rather get your money a few days later than normal but still receieve money, or lose business completely because of disatisfied customers and negative feedbacks?
Just my opinoin of course, you are free to do as you want.

Requiring payment in three days will get you less buyers. If your auctions end on the weekend just state in your description that you mail items every Wednesday. This way you are not making excessive trips to the post office. This might also get the buyers to pay quicker without requiring it. If a buyer wants to wait longer to pay then they accept that it will take longer to receive. Just an idea.
I cant count the number of times I wish the buyer would NOT pay. I have taken many a bath on some of my cards. I give my buyers 10 days. I have had people email and ask for an extra week or 2, and thats fine by me. Im always willing to work with people when it comes to paying for cards.

I use "Immediate Payment Required" in my electronics listings. This is the ONLY way to keep the African and Baltic criminals from killing my listings with scam purchases. These CRIMINALS circumvent the "Block Buyers Registered In Countries To Which I Do Not Ship" preference, by registering a U.S.A. account with a Euro/Afro shipping addy.
Once the listing has been killed by the scamsters, they shoot an email saying they want to send their courier to my addy with a check to pick-up the merch. If the item is $1000.00, the scamster says they will send a check for $1200 and that their courier will handle the foreign delivery, and I can keep the extra $200. Of course, the Cashier's Check is a high-end counterfeit on a famous bank.
The Immediate Payment option precludes the scamarama.

People are just needling you because they want to see you implode. It's kind of a sad summary when a man derives a keen enjoyment from needling another man on the Internet, especially when the issue at hand is one in which the antagonizing party has absolutely no stake whatsoever, but there you have it.
I can see why you have that policy, but (as others have suggested) I'd consider getting rid of it. And, as Tom wisely pointed out, unless there is some repercussion associated with a late payment then you don't really have a policy at all. One thing that I frequently do with low dollar items is just ship them all out after four days or so, whether they've all been paid for or not. It's very rare that a bidder with decent feedback decides to stiff you, even if they get the item before they pay for it, and it saves you a dreaded second trip to the P.O.

It is really the smart play, and the buyers are always happy/surprised to get their stuff so quick. So far, I don't think anybody has failed to pay me.

Exactly. Worst case scenerio is you get stiffed for $10 or so, which is about what it would cost you to make a second trip to the P.O. And like you said, I've never had a problem doing this.
if you want immediate payment, demand instant payment with PayPal.
if your accepting checks and money orders (which you SHOULD be doing) it takes 2-5 days for a check to get to you via the mail, plus you have to deposit it etc.
whats the rush??

this seems like a problem you had previously? or was it another board member whose panties were all in a bunch?
