Thanks for the advice Dani:).  I really appreciate everyone's love and advice for me.  I can't express my thanks and gratitude.

*hugs tight*

I know I've been lousy lately when it comes to trading.. but not paying?
*growl*

Just checking if there are any updates with your buyer. How is it gping? Is there still contact and has he/she already paid or still *waiting* for a auction?
Hope everything will work out

You could never be lousy my dear:)

Update as of 8-7-12, STILL NO PAYMENT!!!!

Can you block them from bidding on future auctions?  That might get their attention that you don't plan on combining shipping for the auctions they have won over the past week.  *pony hugs*

OMG how could someone just bid on all these auctions and just not pay. I feel bad if I leave it for one day. I don't understand how hard it is to communicate. I'm sorry your going through this. I hope you get it sorted very soon.

[michelle53]

Thanks guys!!  Still nothing:(

Michelle I love you and I think that you are a wonderful person.

But you need to open a dispute before it's to late to do so.  This person is clearly taking advantage of your good nature.  And it needs to be stopped, it is just plain ridiculous at this point.

[michelle53]

I love you too Ponylady, and I value your advice.  I am going to open a dispute tonight against the buyer.  I really hate to do this, and I do feel like a jerk, but enough is enough.  I noticed on recent feedback that I am not the only one having a problem with them at the moment:(  Apparently they are on a non-paying streak.

I just want this to be over.

[Ringlets]

Yes please do open a dispute hun because this person has wasted your time for long enough  

[michelle53]

I opened disputes on all 3 of my items the buyer bid on.  I feel not shame in releasing their eBay id: atgi
Judging from their feedback, it appears this person goes through cycles where they pay then not pay.  Apparently, I am one of those sellers who is in the 'not pay' category.  I strive to be a patient and tolerant person, but my limit has been reached and I am just so irritated at this point.  Every message I send them gently reminding them to pay is replied with inquiries about ANOTHER of my items.  Seriously, you're not paying me for the skirt and my wings yet now you want my corset??  Hell no.

Please beware this ebayer!  They have over 4000+ transactions, yet they totally flaked out on me.  I should be able to close this case on the 13th, I just want to be done with this.  Thank you to everyone who has offered advice and their support.

*pony hugs*  Thanks for sharing their ID. 

[Ringlets]

I added their ID to the title of the thread so that others can see it easily     Hopefully you should win your cases quickly (or else it will make that buyer get his/her butt into gear and pay up at last)

[Shenanigans]

Let us know how it turns out

[michelle53]

I opened an unpaid case, and the buyer had until yesterday to pay.  Late last night they finally paid me, nearly 1 month after the auction ended!  I'm in no rush to ship, considering I'm really sick.  I blocked this person from bidding again on any of my auctions, and I hope that this is the last time I have to deal with atgi!!

Thanks everyone for your advice and support!  You all are the best:)
