Completing a purchase
We suggest that you pay for the item as soon as you win an auction or buy a fixed price item. Some sellers may also include information in the item description about when they expect payment to be made. However, please understand that all sellers do have the option to file an unpaid item dispute if they have not received payment after at least 7 days from the date the listing ended. If you have any questions about your payment, contact your seller.
Regardless of which payment method you are using, clicking the Pay Now button is the fastest way to pay on eBay. After you have won an auction listing or have clicked the Buy It Now button, you can see the Pay Now button in the following locations:
In My eBay, in the Items I've Won section.
In the confirmation email that you receive from eBay.
On the invoice email that you receive from eBay on behalf of the seller.
