98) I didn't bid on this item, someone broke into my computer and bid on it, so I am not going to pay for it.

97) I asked a friend to bid, and he bid $4,000 instead of $40.00. (I actually got this excuse.)

95) I know I had lots of contact with you before the auction ended, asking questions and telling you how excited I was about the item and wanted to win it...BUT...(now an email from my best friend)I'm sorry but my best friend just had serious surgery done yesterday and she won't be able to respond to your winning bid notice so I'm doing it for her, if you want to relist the item she will understand, or if you want to wait until later for payment maybe she can do that...just let me know and I'll let her know...SO I say I'll wait...and that was 2 months ago...

93) My husband told me not to bid on any more items and I didn't listen to him. Being a christian I have to do what he says so I will be unable to pay for this item. I'm very sorry.

She was told that it's also not very christian-like to enter into a legal & binding contract and then not pay up to her obligations. So she says "you are right. I will pay." And I believe she did! (This actually happened to someone else I know!)

91) "I have attention deficit disorder. I forgot to order more checks when I ran out and after they finally arrived I forgot to mail your payment. I am sure you understand. I pray that you never have to live with this illness"

I am not kidding. This bidder racked up an amazing amount of negs in a few days. She stiffed sellers for about $8,000. I hope she forgets to look both ways.

89) We've had a financial pitfall and are unable to pay for our ebay transactions. We cannot even afford a gallon of milk. I pray you can understand.

(This is after placing $1,800 in bids in 19 days. My auction was for $17.00)

90) I would send you a money order, but my bank is closed for the next week for a system upgrade.

Even the next week there was still no payment

and

89)I can't wait to get my "widget". I want it as soon as possible. I'm waiting on my disability check and my paypal account only has $30 (she bid $30, plus shipping was $3.20 more)

I told her I would ship it parcel post w/o insurance, etc to save her money... Never heard from her again (3 weeks ago).

) I'm sorry I haven't sent payment yet on the vintage USAF parachute, after your auction ended (I'm in Germany by the way...even though you don't sell except to the US) I went to Viet Nam for the last month. Do you accept PayPal? [No, you might notice that in my auctions where I also mention I don't sell outside the US]

85)I'm sorry my husband has just left to go over seas for Military Duty and will not be back for XXX months. He must have bid on this for a present for me before he left and in getting ready to leave forgot to send payment. If you will email me with the price I will get it out to you.
Of course she didn't explain why all the previous emails went unanswered, along with the NBP email. Last email was 2 wks ago.

79) "My computer was hit by a lightning so I was unable to get you address for the computer caught on fire. I'll mail you the payment tommorow" The lady was a month late when she emailed this, and she never send payment.

78) Army guy said "I send you 4 payments, and you never send anything to me. this is costing me alot! these are untraceable money orders. Your item isnt worth 4 times the money order". I was his first negative, and he never bidded on another item again

77) "I sent the money 3 MONTH ago, you thief, I am reporting you to the FTC". By the way, auction closed 2 weeks ago. So this bidder I had must have been a psychic to send a payment 3 month before the actual auction was submitted then the closed fee?

76) "I know I bidded on your auction, but you are using hotmail, not aol, so you are not to be trusted, so I refuse to buy!"


75)I get a email from the bidders wife "my husband is in the army, his jeep overturned, he is in intensive care for the next 3 month, I am sorry" then a week later you check his ID, and he is bidding on the SAME item cheaper. Hmmm

74) My dog ate the money order, and this is costing me. "

73) my car got vandalized, and I needed money for car repair. i am sorry but I can buy your item at this time".

by the way you guys, I had 3 death in the family already for this month, and we are only on the 13th of the month!! Death rate is going up!
