I just made my 2nd sale on eBay, never really sold anything before on there. The buyer is asking me to wait a week before posting, and doesn't seem to have paid yet.

What should I do? I was going to say something along the lines of "That's ok, but you need to pay now". Does this seem like a scam?

Edit: asked him why he wants delayed postage and he says that he's on holiday and back on the 19th... :confused:

I've asked for delayed postage in the past due to holiday actually, providing he pays then I don't see a problem?
 
Turns out he was genuine and paid when I asked - I said I would give him 2 days to pay which is what eBay recommends, and he paid straight away.

I suppose this is just my inexperience with selling on eBay that made me think not paid = scam haha.

On a related note, I checked the tracking for the other item I sold a few days ago, and apparently it has been signed for by someone with the same name as me :eek:. Probably just a coincidence but that had me worried for a moment, like he would try and say he sent it back to me and wants a refund (probably not).

Edit: So I got £40 for a GTX 660 and £28.50 for 8GB DDR3 RAM (Corsair Vengeance) - do those seem like reasonable prices or was I ripped off? I paid postage myself, hoping the free postage would attract bidders, and started them both at 99p with no reserve.

That is a huge coincidence but there's normally an address along with the signature, worry if it's your address.
