Oh brother,  I don't know but I feel a little suspicious that this person is trying to get free shipping and will play dumb. I hope I am wrong.

well  maybe  they have  someone in your area that will pick up the items? and free ship them to them? but it does sound a little odd. hope it tures out well

Since they have already responded and not mentioned anything about picking it up locally themselves or having someone else come to get the item, I'm going to guess that is not the case.

I hope this goes well for you... I usually only accept COD for a pick-up... I mean I'd hate anyone to think I'm scamming them! I mean I'd never pay for something in advance and *hope* they give me the right address to come pick it up! This person is either stupid or awful... otherwise they'd have tried to arrange a pick-up by now!

This lady no longer responding. I'm thinking of sending another message. I think she thinks that I sent it.

You can contact eBay and ask them what you can do to deal with the situation, but they'll probably tell you all you can do is refund the buyer and re-list the item. So, I'd just refund her and re-list. Keep $.50 of it for re-listing fees if you must. LOL.

Good luck!

I'm sure that Ebay will be worthless as well. However, I will definitely be contacting them if this lady decides to not pay. I'll ask for a refund for the buyitnow auction. I have also thought about refunding only a portion to cover the fees I will be paying.

I am still yet considering sending her another message.

So not sure yet at this point. I'll give her a little more time. I now on idiot Ebay that if there was any payment recorded then they won't let you open up a non-payment case. Which is very very dumb.

Why not ask her when she is coming to pick it up?  Let her know that it is ready to be picked up whenever she can get there.  Lol!
