I've never had a buyer use a lame excuse to get out of a sale on eBay <-- :lies2n:  OK, so I had many LSOSB NPBs when I sold there.

late May--emails to say her husand had surgery last week and can't use the computer so she is contacting his sellers and will send payment soon.  : : : :

My favorite was the buyer's sister had cancer and he was having to spend all his money to drive to the hospital.  Later, he yelled at me for not having any compassion when his son died of cancer.  Sicko!
