Just curiois when someone baught your ads how long do you need to wait for payment? Or is there a rules?
 
I wait 24 hours. If they say, "I'll take it" and don't ask you about payment instructions via PM within 24 hours it goes back up for sale. If they say, "I'll take it" via PM same 24 hour rule applies. If it wasn't important enough to them to contact you about payment for an entire day then the purchase wasn't that important. I see a lot of guys saying "I'll take it" as if layaway is an option and they hold onto the item to see if they can score a better deal elsewhere screwing over the seller. Contact him via PM and tell him he has " " hours to respond or it's going back up for sale. When I buy something here I make sure I send a PM right after "I'll take it" asking for payment info. Then I send payment either that minute via PayPal or the next day via MO with a tracking number. If I sell something I send the product right after I get payment with a tracking number and keep the buyer informed every step of the way.

If a person has enough time to post I'll take it, he has enough time to PM you and ask about payment instructions. From the sales side, unless its a very hot moving item and a screaming deal that you posted, I would follow up with them out of curtsey and instruct payment instructions and ask for shipping instructions. If its not read in a time frame you are comfortable with and replied to, back up it goes
 
If it takes over 24 hours for a buyer to go from "ill take it" to sending a PM about payment- The buyer can go pound sand because I'd be putting it back up as available. (I'd make sure to send the "I'll take it" guy a PM saying its going back up since they didn't make an effort to get payment info) Than again, when I'm a buyer, I usually send the PM immediately after "I'll take it" and usually have a money order in the mail within 24 hours (unless P.O. is closed).
People usually sell things because they NEED the money- for bills or other toys or whatever reason, and don't need to be jerked around by lazy buyer's bullshit.

Just my .02.
