How long do you give someone to pay?
I had someone PM me Saturday night for something I have for sale, asking if I would take $XX shipped and if so, they'll take it and what was my PP address. I agreed and sent my info over yesterday morning. I haven't heard anything since. I PM'd them today asking if they were still interested. They read the PM but no response or payment.
Is this a firm commitment to buy? Am I being too impatient?

If they worded it as you say "and if so, I'll take it" and you agreed to sell it to them at that price, they've entered a binding deal with you (and vice versa).
Shoot them another PM and email explaining that you're giving them X amount of time to send electronic payment before you'll start a -1 for welching thread and ask to relist the item.
If it's only been since yesterday morning, they may be transferring funds to paypal or something - set a clear limit (I usually use 72 hours from the time payment information is sent) on when payment must be received by or you'll start a -1 thread. The mods here are fantastic and will make sure he either completes the deal as he agreed to or face the consequences of backing out.
Good luck!

Agree on all points.
Here is the exact PM the member sent, the screen name has been removed for now.
take 15 shipped? if so whats your pp ill buy
ETA: I'm going to give him until tomorrow morning to respond, which will be 48 hours. If he does not respond or pay by then I will give him another 24 hours to pay or at least respond to me and tell me when he intends to pay or I will be posting a -1. I don't think I would be as frustrated if he hadn't read my PM and at least had the courtesy to just quickly respond.

UPDATE: The member responded to me but asking if it was a factory mag. I replied that it was a Korean ATI mag, just like it states in my original post.
I have a feeling he is now going to back out because he didn't actually read the ad. I have a 33rd. ATI Korean Glock 9mm mag for $15 shipped. It'd be a lot higher than that if it was a factory mag...
UPDATE 4:21pm /AZTPDT: He's rad my last PM, but not responded. I'm not feeling good about this...
Well still no response so a -1 has been posted.
