Dude its Christmas he might be trying to get money in his account.

I would say give him a 1 week if nothing then request a non payment on the item an turn it in to Ebay that he didnt pay then! but dont just give up on him...I been doing ebay for about 10 years an have lots of feedback an I only had about 3 problems like this an after a week if there isnt anything most likely they will not pay!

Then, the 3rd day they send you another message saying that they hope to get the account problem resolved tomorrow, but tomorrow passes and you still haven't received a payment. The person has all positive feedback, but every time before, that I have sold something, I received payment immediately. And the one time that I had a problem with PayPal, it was resolved with one simple phone call, not a 4+ day waiting period.

I guess the main question is how much time should I allow for receiving a payment? Or should I just say fuck this dude and relist my item?

I personally think the guy is BS'ing me until he can hustle up the money to afford the item. He just committed to buy to keep anyone else from getting it.
