Bah.
Yesterday, I had to open a non-paying bidder case against the second chance bidder on a doll I sold.
The first bidder asked me to wait a week for payment, then didn't pay and I had to file the first NPB case. This made me scramble to pay off a quite large bill. Then I had to wait another 4 days for the case to end.
Case ends, get fees back, and offer to second bidder, "Can I pay next week?" Ugh. Okay.
Next week rolls around, no money. I send invoice, wait another 24 hours and file NPB. This morning she messages me and says "In the past two weeks, everything that could go wrong, did, can I pay next Friday?"
Last two weeks? Everything that could go wrong, did? Tell me about it. *eyeroll*
Somehow I doubt the man that raised her put a gun in his mouth and decided to end it all, but I said nothing to her about that. I just explained that my dad died unexpectedly at 53 and I have been dealing with that. Then I told her that I'd like to wait, because in a perfect world, I would not care, really, but all my bills are due between the 28th and 30th, the doll has been tied up for a month and I want my fees back.
I am fed up with these ebay bidders, but I hate the unlimited time formats on other sales sites. There is no urgency to buy within a certain time-frame and when you've got bills to pay, you need stuff to move quickly and so I am rather stuck with ebay to finance my major bills, which literally are due between the 28th and 30th. Granted the small steady sales all month from other sites do help, but when I need a major chunk of money in a certain time-frame, ebay is still my regretful go-to.
