I've had buyers back out of transactions before for fairly stupid reasons, "I didnt mean to buy it etc" but I gotta say this is probably the lowest anyone has ever stooped.
Sold a bag on 7/08 for $195.25, buyer sent an email the next day, "I will pay for this in 2 days when I get piad."
I respond back, "Ok no problem thanks for letting me know"
Well 2 days came and went, as did 5 days. So I sent another invoice as a reminder. Get an email right back "So sorry I will pay for this first thing in the morning I just need to go to the bank and move some money into my account"
Well needless to say she still never pays so 3 days later I filed a NPB against her. Well I got a response back it said:
"Hi I am writing on behalf of my mother ****** (my buyer), I am terribly sorry to say that she passed away unexpectedly 2 days ago. I'm sorry that she was unable to complete her transaction with you and I hope you understand. I wish that I could honor this for her and pay for this purchase but her death has came as such a shock and financially things are a wreck now. I hope you understand I have been checking my mothers emails trying to see where everything stands with her affairs and just wanted to let you know what was going on."
Well I immediately wrote back and said "I am sorry for your loss and please do not worry about this matter." But at the same time I just kinda felt it was a little fishy since I didnt get this email until I filed the NPB. So I kept an eye on this user, and lo and behold not even 48 hrs after I recieve this email saying this buyer has died, I see that she has recieved and left feedback for the EXACT SAME BAG she bought from me for 195.25 and didnt pay for, she bid on and won this other one for $162.50! She won it 4 days after she bought mine. Her feedback said something to the extent of "got my bag superfast, what a deal" and she has gotten & left feedback for 2 other items. All I can say is for a dead woman she sure does a lot of shopping.
