I rec'd the following from the winner of one of my auctions. Has anyone else observed this problem.
Thank you for sending a reminder! FYI, I had attempted vendio checkout a few times via the ebay item description page (where vendio checkout button appears) but could never complete checkout due to vendio "unable to identify you as buyer of this item... try again later". Which was weird -- so I'd try again and still didn't work. I kept meaning to email you -- but forgot!! Anyway -- the click via your email worked smoothly -- no problems at all! Thanks for your patience, and sorry about the delay.
This can happen if a buyer tries to check out immediately after an item ends, and that item is Fixed Price or Dutch. Those items can take up to 15 mins to move from active to closed, hence the message the buyer gets about not being able to check out.
The release of the new Checkout will take care of this.
