Seller has not contacted yet. How long should I wait...

I recently  sold a unit that buyer had no feedback  and never communicate. 
Audiogone hold my funds on express checkout for 8 days after item was delivered since buyer did never said a word. 
Fortunately  happy ending I got my funds. 

A few weeks ago I did a Buy it Now, and the Audiogon system instructed me to wait for an invoice from the seller before making payment. When I didn't hear from him for a few days, I emailed telling him about Audiogons message to me, and asked for a total with shipping. Heard nothing for a few more days, but did eventually. I made payment, heard nothing about my payment having been received, but did get a tracking number and a thank you. Not how I do things, but I was raised right ;-). 

... and we have contact!

Still a good question.  I have often wondered myself.   Thanks for putting it out there.   It's good to read others viewpoints and read experiences. 

Wait another 5 minutes
