Well, my first round of Yahoo auctions ended last night, I had 7 items sell, and send WBN to all the winners.

One of the little darlings is unreachable, I get his email sent back to my Yahoo email account as "Warning: Could not send message for past four hours." I've resent it twice, so for the past 8 hours, I've been trying.

He's got a positive feedback of 2, both from March 2000, and his email address ends in ".us".

When this happens to me on eBay I would report it to safeharbor, but what should I do here? Should I wait and see if the bidder tries to contact me? I'm not sure if his email address is invalid, or was just down. I told Yahoo Auctions about this, but I'm not expecting a reply for a few days.

Any thoughts?

Hi motive8! Similar to one winner I had/have - I sent WBN - in approx. 2 days I received e-mail from them asking how much item was because they had not heard from ME! I told them and also told them later that evening I would forward them the WBN with ALL the info. they would need in it - and I DID. Approx. 2-3 days later, I received another e-mail from them saying that since they had not heard from ME, they would go ahead and send me $xx.xx for the item. Well, $xx.xx was not enough to pay for the item, shipping, etc. - so I immediately sent them a response - from a DIFFERENT computer! Still have not heard from them yet - but am expecting, I guess, payment in the mail any day for $xx.xx=not enough!!! UHhhhGGGGgg! I think this person is just trying to "pull the wool over MY eyes"!

With any luck, they'll take it upon themselves to send me the money, or an email. If they read the auction listing, I had both US, Canada and international shipping prices listed there, and they'll know how much their bid was for.

Hopefully they'll email me.
