See, I was thinking this way, too, but I know she isn't going to see it that way. If the bag picked up that strong of a scent, which I can smell across the room as I type, then it's possible the bag was close to her for quite a while and was possibly given a test drive outdoors. And, nope, she paid by money order, I believe, but at any rate, I don't know if I can use the delivery confirmation thingy since my Paypal account is still limited (the stupid letter still hasn't come in yet and I have payments due tomorrow. I'm screwed!). The bag is now ruined, thanks to her, so there's no way she should get a refund. I suggest you return it to her, and inform her that as it is not in the condition in which it was sent (mention the smoke, if you want) then you cannot give a refund. As she paid by money order, she won't be able to get a refund. Have you left her feedback yet? Has she left you fb? If the answer to both is 'no', then don't leave her fb. If she negs you, you can neg her in return. EBay peeve: I sold an item on eBay two days ago. The buyer is brand new (registered that day) and hasn't replied to the invoice. Tomorrow, I'll send him/her/it an email, but I have a feeling I won't be getting my money.

I won an auction last Sunday. I sent a request for an invoice and the seller responded with an apology that he didn't ship to Canada. My response said not a problem, we want the item shipped to a US address to take advantage of free shipping, and asked him to advise if that was okay before I sent payment. I haven't heard back from him and have sent a message and a second request for an invoice since. What should I do? I am hesitant to pay because this seller is incommunicado, but I also don't want to lose my 100% rating and get branded a slow (or worse: non-) payer! Did you pay with Paypal? Is your Paypal confirmed address for Canada or the US? The only reason I ask is that I personally refuse to send to any address other than the one that PayPal gives me b/c they claim if I do then they won't offer me any protection as the seller. Could that have been what this guy was trying to get across but he was just an ass about it?

Regarding the smoky bag, I get the feeling the person purposely bought the bag to use for a special occasion with the intention to return it and get her money back. Kind of like those stories you hear of people buying a fancy dress for a wedding or something and never taking off the tags and returning it all sweaty or whatever. Maybe I'm just thinking the worst of people, but no refund from me. ITA with Inconceivable on this one.

I really haven't had much luck with ebay lately. I bought some frames that I need by the end of next week and I thought 2 weeks would be enough time for the items to arrive so I used the "buy it now" option instead of making bids. I made a request for the seller to send me an invoice of the total and I still haven't recieved it. I wrote the seller to make sure that they got my request and that I would need the frames in two weeks time and it turns out the post office is on strike so they can't send the items so I have them by next week. This really sucks as I don't have much use for them after that and I will be away on vacation.

Even so, they should have sent you the invoice, even if they had to add "post office is on strike but I will post as soon as it is possible". You shouldn't have to go chasing them in order for you to give them your money.
Still nothing from my so-called buyer. I'll email them, but I'm not holding out any hope.

SluttyMary, they should have at least told you they were planning to send the frames very later. That is just common courtesy. I have to wonder if these same late shippers get all out of whack if they bought something that hasn't arrived in two weeks.
Inconceivable, I wouldn't worry too much about the bidder. Maybe he doesn't know you're supposed to contact them? I know I never, ever do unless the invoice tells me I should and I have plenty of feedback by now. Unless, of course, your invoice did say to contact you, in which case you might be in a little trouble.

Yep, I made sure to say in the invoice that if they didn't intend to pay by PayPal, to please contact me. I repeated that in the email I sent today, asking them to contact me and let me know how they intend to pay. So far, zilch.
The bidder hasn't bid on anything else at all on eBay, and registered on the day to bid on my item. Urk. I'm not surprised a lot of sellers refuse to accept bids from people with less than 10 positive feedbacks.

It's possible the bidder could be using Paypal and, after reading the invoice, didn't see the need to contact you about it. Give him a day or to to respond to your newest email.

Oh I will. I normally give them at least 10 days of no communication before I take it to eBay. But, having said that, if they're going to pay by PayPal and aren't paying immediately (or within a day), they normally contact me to say so.

Why are the auctions so long? I want immediate gratification, dammit! I'm currently the high bidder on a poster that I really, really want but there is still 2 days left in the auction. I don't really want to spend more than $30.00 on it but it's already at $18.50 and my high bid is $20.00. The auction has been going on for 2 days now. I want the poster!
