Thump always calls me a Curmudgeon, no matter what I say........and then he turns around and gripes about some bozo on Ebay doing something to him that's stupid. SO, since he's gone, and in his honor.
I sold some Rapid Release Rod Holders I had on my boat, via Ebay. They didn't go for a lot, but ok. Some guy won the bid at the last minute, had not bid before that. Fine.
I wait on his payment. I wait 3 days (the max). I wait 4 days. Nothing. I send an invoice. Nothing. I send an email. Nothing. I open a Ticket to get Ebay involved. Finally I sent the runner-up bidder a notice that I might be able to offer the product to him if this guy never pays. He said fine.
Last night late, I get an Ebay email, or response, from the guy who was the winning bidder. He said, and I paraphrase "I'm out of the country. I'm a teacher and I'm on spring break. I forgot I bid on those right before I left. I'll be back 04/06 if you can wait".
I have not answered him. I'm trying to be nice. But I sure hope he doesn't teach Ethics.
I'll probably wait on him and ship when he pays. I ain't in a hurry. But some folks........I guess it always amazes me, but people are the strangest folks!
