Yay, someone BIN'd the Kyurem on Ebay! Which is basically all the money I wanted for my goals.

...And then they sent me three messages about whether I can send them two different invoices, and saying they'll pay for it in a week. (My sales terms say to pay for items within three days.)

=____=

I sent them a message saying I only allow three days for payment--I'm hoping they'll get it together and pay before then. If not, I'll have  a dilemma, though I guess I could wait a week for payment. It's rude, though...

EDIT: Ugh, they're gonna pay me Tuesday because they're transferring money to their credit card. At least it looks like I'll be getting the money, but I'm still rather annoyed...

Ugh. This is a perfect example of why I'm seriously considering the "item is not considered 'sold' until payment is received" option on ebay. I've heard of too many buyers placing a BIN and then vanishing for days/weeks.

Yeah, I've been meaning to change to that setting for quite a while, too, but I forget (because I don't use Ebay very often) and then naively think, "Oh, my buyers aren't going to be total flakes!" And then they are total flakes. ;____; It's always with the expensive items, too! At least this person is in contact with me, though now they're like, "Can I pay Tuesday?" I'll keep trying to get them to pay sooner, but if they REALLY REALLY can't, maybe I'll consider letting them pay later, just because I really could use the money and don't want to risk no one else buying it... Ugh, I'm really annoyed, though!

The one good thing about ebay these days is that opening a non-paying bidder claim is pretty painless. You can even have ebay automatically open one for you after a set amount of time; mine is set to 4 days. So, if all else fails, at least you'll get refunded for the ebay fees.

Of course, you still can't leave buyers negative feedback. :/
