The Layaway Plan!

I just love when people use Buy-It-Now and several days later send me a message like this:

Hello!

I would like to apologise for not being able to make this payment straight away but I do still want the item. Would it be okay if I had 5 more days? I am so sorry for any inconvenience, I didn't have the available funds I should have had. Would this still be okay? I am terribly sorry again.

Oh yes. I just told her that unpaid item assistant is turned on, but she should have several more days to pay afterward...cheeri-fuckin-o. Sure girlfriend, my mortgage company that's already been waiting an extra week will love me while you fart around because you didn't check shipping price/your bank balance before you pressed that button. It's nearly always a toy person. I fucking HATE selling toys.

I do believe that about 3/4 of my auctions are being throttled. The views and interest are very lopsided. Etsy also went hot for a week, then died again. I have a $300+ clock up for sale that a guy sent me an insulting offer on, which I countered to no avail.

This stupid pony thing that this woman bought is the biggest item I've sold in days, so it figures she wouldn't pay. The lame thing is she sent me a Best Offer which I accepted, AND I shaved like $12 off her shipping price because I was offering free shipping to USA people and wanted to make it fair.
