A potentital buyer doesnt seem like she will pay

[tinyblondie]

I'm having some doubts about a lady who is wanting to buy a lot of ponies from me. I informed her last Thursday that if she paid by Monday I would be able to post then and she told me she wouldn't have the money by then. It struck me as strange that she wouldnt up front tell me she would need some time before being able to pay but shrugged it off. I asked if she had anything to trade and she told me she didnt own any ponies, that was the second thing I found weird as she had been commenting on posts for months asking to buy ponies and about shipping arrangements.

The last thing that bothers me is that she has not replied to me for a week so Ive not been able to arrange shipping or payment with her but she has been commenting on other peoples posts asking to buy ponies. I dont think she will end up paying me so I want to put my stuff back up for sale but I'm not sure. What do you think I should do?

Is this happening here or the Arena FB page?

On a UK FB page selling vintage toys (mostly ponies) but Ive seen her behavior on the arena FB page too.

I would send a final message  with a cut off date maybe, Monday, and then if still nothing or more excuses go with your gut feeling and cut it off.

At the end of the day it doesn't seem like you are obliged by anything, she hasn't paid anything and it's only holding you back from making money.

Hope it sorts out!

Thats a really good plan PitterPatter, I'll message her now

I would put it back up for sale. While I understand these pages exist, I have a hard time trusting people. If it doesn't happen here in a small knit group of people or on eBay, I won't do business. It's my general rule of thumb. There are to many time wasters and scammers who thrive on FB that it's not worth the trouble. Just my opinion
