I had a ton of Auctions close on 4/3. All items sent except 2. Haven't heard a word from those buyers. On 4/25, I send out NPBs. I get a response from one buyer she went on vacation and had left her out going mail on her desk at work, and that it was sent on the 25th. I get the payment; I was postmarked the 27th,(talk about your snail mail!!) and the date (just the day part) on the money order scribbled over with the word "widget". Hello???????? I wasn't born yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, how I want to write her back and tell her that I am really not an idiot. But, I will remain calm, and mail her widget without incident.

My weiner mailed 2 ceramic mugs in a box with no packing material except for a wal-mart plastic bag between them. Naturally I received a box O breakage. I wonder if I can use it as gravel in my fish tank?

My weiner's winning bid was Mar. 18th. I filed NPB on Apr. 13th after e-mailing him to see if payment was sent and getting no response.
A check was mailed to me on Apr. 18th from a woman with a different name from his and at a different address in his town. So I informed him I had already relisted the item.
I receive an e-mail just now that says:
"so sorry ...death in family......please just rip up the check....thx ...we tried...we'll try again someday....."
I doubt he will try but if he does he will be blocked from bidding.
Edited to say that I just checked and he has recently bid on 190 items and is now NARU.

If we're restricting it to this month, my weiner won't win because this happened about 2 years ago. He bids and wins my auction. Then before he even emails me, he leaves the feedback "rip off, I found it cheaper somewhere else." Who the heck asked him to bid?
At least I got some revenge. I knew that the site he had found it at had been out of stock for months and this was right before Xmas. He eventually emailed me back and "generously" offered to buy it anyway. I refused to sell it to him and found another customer who paid even more.
