Once again, the death in the family has appeared.

I sold an item to someone last week, today I got this notice

I have not forgotten about the doll. I had a death in the funeral my mother passed from cancer she had for 12 yrs I will send payment out money order on thursday let me know if its ok Again i am sorry. Chris please send me your address so i can make sure i have the correct address

The funny thing is my name is not Chris, nor did he buy a doll from me. However he does owe me a big chunk of change. Is it wrong for me not to be sympathetic when it appears to be a form letter? I noticed on his eBay feedback that he has purchased around 20 items in the past two days... hmmmmm...

So I extended the time to pay twice with this guy. I turned him into eBay, after waiting nearly a month, I canceled the auction and turned him in. He retaliated by leaving me negative feedback. The first negative feedback I've ever gotten in 8 years. I'm so pissed off at this guy. Seems he can pay other people no problem, but somehow I'm the bad guy? He kept stringing me along, then he blasts me. I just don't get it. The auction says payment must be received within 14 days, no exceptions. I extended it twice for him anyway because I didn't want to be a bitch about it. Now this. My perfect score is marred for no reason. I'm gutted.

** edit ** I just found out this same guy claimed he sent another seller $3K which he never received. Hopefully eBay will boot this bastard and my negative will be erased. As Earl would say, Karma is a mo fo!
