Default eBay member goes crazy on me? (Long)

Heres the eBay listing...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ADME:B:RTQ:US:1

So I send an invoice to this member asking for payment, they send PayPal an 'eCheck' (whatever that is) and I gladly give them this message (I thought it would be nice updating people on their order situation).

You can probably feel pretty comfortable that based on the way this person carries themselves, their life is miserable and they blame everyone else for their problems.

I love the "holier than thou" attitude at the end of her last message

Assuming you get the money and ship the item, make sure it goes "signature required".

That definitely sounds like some bs. Why is it people like to start name calling when things aren't going there way?

Does this person realize that with Paypal echecks it takes a couple of days to clear?

If this already happened once before, then maybe she should think about her method of payment.

If Paypal or ebay reads over the messages, I don't think that they would really do anything about it. Except maybe, say that she could get herself in more trouble for the use of slander/racial comments.

But, it would be pretty funny if the person that talks to her speaks english as a second lanquage.

You have her address right? I think we should organize the locals around her to go pay her a visit...

Wow! This darla is an ***hole!!! What a racist this lady is. I'm not even Asian and I'm offended. One thing you can do to avoid jerks like this is to put lots of disclaimers in your auction. I think one to add is that shipment will not occur until payment clears when using eChecks through paypal. I also like how this lady seems to feel that the auction is non-binding.

i've been having a load of problems with noobs on ebay not paying or coming up with a whack ass story about a cousin in a different country sharing the same account, and bidding on behalf of the person.

i absolutely hate selling to people with less than 15 positive feedback. argh, trying to deal with a stupid f*** who claims he had to pay $57 in customs charges for a stupid headset, when it was clearly marked gift.

Asians can learn English? What a concept!





The joys of dealing with 12 year olds on the interweb.

Almost sounds like a scam attempt to me...
Get the item shipped while funds are being transferred and then cancel when it's too late? Is that possible?
She does say that she got out of another ebay purchase for a psp for the same reason. Hmm.. kinda odd. Who doesn't wait for a check to clear before shipping goods?
