what kind of excuse for not sending payment on EBAY?

[green papaya]

what are some of the excuses you have heard for a buyer not sending payment?

my latest one

I am sorry, we have had problems here with an elderly father [wont last much longer] I asked my wife to send payment, I just called her and she did not. I am sorry, I will send payment this very day

he marked it as payment sent two weeks ago :coffee:

"my deepest apologies, i was just released from the hospital to continue my care here at home, and honestly ebay was not really a priority to worry about while i was so ill in the hospital, after finlly getting home i decided to check this, i dont even remember what items i had bid on, and i am very sorry that i did not contact you to alert you to my position."

Sorry, it says "payment required within 7 days". I relisted it and got twice as much money than the first time it sold.

Hmmm...

Does THIS sound familiar:

INT. CLASSROOM. LATER

A stunningly beautiful girl, SLOANE PETERSON, is sitting at
her desk in a history class. She's staring out the window as
a tweedy MALE TEACHER delivers a dry, dusty lecture.

TEACHER
Roosevelt's health had seriously
deteriorated by the time he met
with Churchill and Stalin at Yalta.
(sneezes)
Pardon me.

The classroom door opens and the school NURSE walks in. For
a moment, the teacher thinks she's come in because she heard
him sneeze. She crosses to him and whispers in his ear.

SLOANE

She, like the others, watches the nurse curiously.

INT. CLASSROOM. TEACHER AND NURSE

The teacher's face drops as he's delivered an obvious piece
of disturbing news. He nods grimly to the Nurse. She looks
at the kids.

NURSE
Sloane Peterson?

SLOANE

Sits up in her seat.

NURSE

She's a picture of compassion and understanding.

NURSE
May I see you outside for a moment?
There's been an emergency.

SLOANE

A smile curls across her lips. As she gathers her books she
looks to the GIRL next to her.

SLOANE
(whispers)
Dead grandmother.

73 INT. HALLWAY 73

The Nurse is gently holding Sloane's hand.

NURSE
(nods solemnly)
Dead grandmother.

74 CU. ROONEY 74

He has a suspicious look on his face.

ROONEY
Dead grandmother?

INT. DEAN'S OFFICE

Rooney's at his desk. His secretary is standing across from
him.

SECRETARY
That's what Mr. Peterson said. I
had Florence Sparrow notify Sloane.

ROONEY
Who's this girl's going with?

SECRETARY
It's so hard to tell. I see her
alot with...
