You can send a reminder anytime you want. Ebay allows 7 days for people to pay, unless you specify in the auction for them to pay sooner.

• Send them another invoice as a gentle reminder.
  After 7th day you can start an UPI (unpaid item) 8 days after that if still not paid -they will get a strike- you get your FVF refunded and you can relist.
  If it sells the second time you will get listing fee refunded.
  
  If they do not reply in the UPI, then any Neg f/back can be removed from eBay
• Usually people pay almost immediately.
  Have you sent them an invoice (automatically generated by PayPal but you have to "send" it).
  Have you sent them an email reminder to pay?
  Could be on holiday?
  Could be timewaster..... if so report him and relist.
  I believe games are an area which attracts a lot of timewasters....
• send them a message through ebay asking them when they are going to pay ,
  
  
  also next time you list something for sale ask for immediate payment
• send an email to chase, 5 days is a long time for ebay
