I use them all the time. Never had a refusal.

You can file non payment after 4 days I believe. I have not had to do this yet. At four days, I send a message asking still very politely for payment and give them a couple days more. It may take a week or so, but the couple times I had problems, if they kept the communication open, I gave them enough time.

UNTIL, I had an auction end on this past Tuesday night (the 15th). The auction ended and I get a message from the buyer. (brand new buyer with a zero). It says "I get paid on the first of the month, is that alright?". I wrote back and told him he should not have bid if he did not have the money, and I am going to file non payment tomorrow for the first time ever. Had he asked me before bidding, I may have said yes, not sure. He just pissed me off asking after the fact.

I reuse a lot of boxes and lacking materials to ship stuff. take the box apart, turn inside out and retape, now you got a box with no writing, ads or other junk. Been selling ebay for 13 years. the only thing I buy is tape, clear bags in a couple sizes and some larger envelopes. Plastic grocery bags make good lightweight filler inside boxes and there's not a shortage of them.
