When giving out Paypal address in sales thread.

12 hours is a good time frame to hear back from a potential buyer.

I give the potential buyers in my sales 24 hours and then if I don't hear back from him after providing my paypal info, I send him a PM letting him know to NOT send payment since I've relisted the item.

Well my DSL was broken for one and a half day - so in my opinion 12 h is not very much.

But I dont think you can geralize - if someone says he will be sending the money "right away" - may 12 hours is enough.

Well, that is an extreme scenario.

However there has been a few threads lately about people getting upset that they wanted and item and it was sold out from under them. While I know people want to sell what they have quickly, there is no point in giving out your paypal address to multiple people.

Now I can not say that I don't get frustrated when people say I'll take it and you give them your paypal address only to never heard from them again. But I do think 12 hours is enough time for both seller and buyer.
