We sold a Mr. Nobody delft figure (we have several) on ebay for $76.00 to the buyer craig907, after sending the vendio checkout, there was no reply so each day for 10 days the Vendio checkout was sent. Finally we e-mailed the winner a "Winning bidder reminder", again no contact or any response. Then we sent a payment reminder. Still nothing. The day after that we finally received an e-mail from the buyer claiming that we should give him the total and address to send the payment for the Mr. Nobody delft figure. We replied to the e-mail stating that we have been sending him the checkout and total since the closing of the auction and that their seems to be a problem with his e-mail, we also requested that he reply to the message to confirm its arrival. A week went by and still no payment or response to the e-mail. He then e-mails again stating that he wants the total and is getting "disturbed" by the fact that we are cooperating with him. We then replied stating that we have replied to his e-mail and then supplied him with the total. After a day we sent him an official Ebay Payment reminder containing all of the payment information. We then also tried to contact him through the "Message from ebay member" form on ebay. Still no response. Then this morning he e-mails stating that we had no need to send him the payment reminder as he does not the total and would appreciate us contacting him (the total was given along with the address to send payment to, in the Ebay payment reminder). We then requested his contact information from ebay and attempted to call his phone number, however his number listed with ebay has been disconnected. We then attempted to get his phone number through yahoo search and discovered that the number listed on yahoo has also been disconnected. So (being as we are) we decided to e-mail him using our other e-mail accounts with the total and giving him the option of backing out of the transaction. After checking the buyer's (craig907) feedback we discovered that he has done this same thing numerous times on ebay, for items even less than the price of ours. Most likely we will be receiving a negative (for no reason) from this ebayer, as he has done to numerous other sellers. This is just to advise anyone out there to block craig907

Same experience with alot of people on ebay. I poast my phone number and they have no excuse that they cannot contact me but they do anyway. I don't know about other people but I taking welching serious. Keep on them! If they don't want to be bothered then don't bid, or pay their bid.

Do these people have aol email addresses. That might be part of the problem. In my experience, about 50% of the aol addresses do not go thru. I get their's no problem but they don't get mine. Ebay auto messages, like payment reminders and such, seem to get thru just fine.
