WTH? More ebay issues

[LoveDeath16]

I'm really sorry that I made you go through that trouble... OTL
I feel like a huge idiot now...
But then again, I did pay today, so it was better late than never, right?
...Oh, what does it matter?
I still feel like an idiot...
I'm sorry again for making you go through that trouble...
I'll try not to do that ever again.

*nods* Sounds like a lesson learned.  You just have to remember ebay purchases are the same as a store purchase, you can't take it to the check out and expect them to hold something for you, for longer then their policy says.  

If, for some reason, you won't be able to pay right away, contact the seller *before* you bid to make sure it's all right.  They may agree to wait, in which case, bid away. 
If they say no, you have to pay with in 3 days, then don't bid.  Most items will show up again, you can wait till you have the money for it.

Honestly I hope that you don't ask a seller to wait on receiving payment even if they are willing to-  it just seems really irresponsible, and such a pain in the ass for the seller.  If you don't have the money, the best thing to do is to get the heck off ebay.

I'm glad that everything worked out in the end!

It was a crappy situation, but Moonhawke handled it well and it all worked out after all.  It seems the buyer feels pretty bad about it and I doubt she'll repeat it.  No need to rub her nose in it like an errant puppy.

Assuming you were directing your comment to me-  I was not "rubbing the buyer's nose in it" so much as trying to counteract the suggestion that next time the buyer wants to do this- she should just contact the seller first. 

I really strongly do NOT think it is a good idea to encourage people without the funds to pay for their purchases, to get around this little problem by asking the seller in advance whether they will be willing to wait for payment.  Please- do not do this.
