How long do you wait until you move a sale to the next person? I am super easy going when it comes to buying and selling but if the potential buyer does not respond when do you move to the next person? Thanx in advance.

Recently I posted something for sale and someone responded right away. I sent them my payment info and waited for a response. I waited for over an hour, all the while the person was still logged on the site. No response. Someone else responded after that, and I again sent my payment info, and they paid right away. I pm'ed the first person to let them know that it was sold, and then he pm'ed me back saying something like "you sold it out from under me, I see how it is..."

Go to their User CP, and check to see the last time they logged in. If you sent a PM, and they logged in, then it's pretty likely they saw the message. But sometimes people don't log in for a bit, and if they don't have email forwarding of PM's turned on, then they may not have seen your PM's.
I give people two PMs after that, and in the second one say, "If I don't hear back in 24 hours, I will assume you don't want it, and will pass it to the next person", if there are other people in line.
I have had cases where life intervenes, and people don't log in for a bit. I'll be a little more lenient in this case, but not by much. If someone really wants an item you have, they'll communicate and pay you.
