She'll need to cancel the transaction or be charged the seller's fee for a sold item...And, since she can't leave negative feedback for a buyer, something needs to be recorded that Ebay could be alerted this person is not keeping their commitment they've made, that bid is a contract in their eyes. Ebay considers an item as 'unpaid' after two days from auction end. I usually use 72 hours as a guide. But really, with this being a holiday week, you might want to give some thought that the buyer may by gone, or have a house full :) Have you checked the buyers feedback rating, see if there is anything suspect there that would make you want to just go ahead and file unpaid claim, get the sale off your record? That could make a difference in how I treated the silence you're getting from your buyer.

Thanks, everyone. There were a few members wanting to purchase seedlings. Someone said no one in their right mind would ship seedlings. Well, this seller has them ... in several varieties of adenium. Perhaps a good source. I actually just successfully shipped 12 plumeria and adenium seedlings to 2 family members in Florida. I left them in their little pots, taping styrofoam atop the soil to keep it in place, then taping a solo cup (with air holes) on top. They were shipped in a newspaper padded box and arrived perfectly intact!

You can look up the vendor names over on the Rate & Review Vendors forum here but as a very general rule, ebay is not considered a good source for seeds; especially when compared to the normal seed vending companies. With ebay you are mostly dealing with individuals who save their own seeds so the odds of getting mixed seeds, mis-labeled seeds, or cross-pollinated seeds is much higher. Of course there are no guarantees with any seeds and germination rates depends more on the methods you use rather than the seeds themselves, but dealing with licensed vendors improves your odds greatly. Why not use your coupon to buy something less risky? Dave

I trust Bob Smoley's on line. His wife took over the business. Purchased many from him. I did buy some on ebay and was not disappointed. If bidding, I wait until the last minute and usually win and get it cheap. If lots of bidding, I let it go. Usually another one from the same seller will appear again. I haven't purchased a sans in many years now. And I like it. Got to get this addiction under control. I am temped to buy a Blue Kuew (or something). .
