Had one guy who said his dog got ulcers. If your life changes dramatically because of that (first of all how the heck did he find out the dog had it?!! is there even such a thing as dogs getting ulcers?!), then you've got a big problem.
Another genuis said that he couldnt pay because he was saving for his gf's boob job. Now..ummm..might be a bit daft of me but..why tell me?! and secondly..why bid if youre concerned about the twin towers?!
Sheesh....and someone said powersellers had it all.

Dogs do get ulcers, BTW. They're only human, after all. Not that it's a good excuse not to pay.

If I got an ulcer, I'd still pay if I won! Sheesh!

I have had a few people actually use the old
"I didn't place the bid" excuse. I've also
bought on eBay and know that couldn't be true
as you enter the bid on one page and have to
confirm it on the next page. Not to mention
that you must enter your password! I always
laugh and laugh, until I realize the item
might have sold to a real buyer had the
deadbeat not bid, and that I'm totally out my
listing fee as a result (as opposed to being
able to deduct it from the purchase price of
a real buyer). Of course I can file for FVF,
and then comes the fun part... leaving
Negative feedback for the deadbeat. ;^)
