How some people get dressed in the morning!
Just had an auction close with BIN.
He gets a EOA from Ebay.
He gets a WBN from Vendio.
My auctions have the Paypal, pay now buttons.
He gets every bit of info he can possibly need.
What does he do?,He sends me an email saying he wanted to pay with paypal,but it was not an option.
Even though I have Paypal preferred plastered everywhere you look!
And since he thinks he can't pay with paypal, he wants to know if he pays with a check/M.O. should he send it to my mailing address!
Duh,Gee: Why should he send it to my address??!!

And sadly that type of buyer isn't really that rare either.

No they aren't rare at all....I have one right now.I have that free auction calculator in my auction that gives the shipping cost so they know before they bid...and I say priority or Parcel Post your choice...and I always e-mail the shipping cost at the end just in case they don't know how to use the thing.I sold a small glass item, shipping was 5.75 priority or 4.49 parcel post .The buyer sends payment with media mail shipping (1.84).I refunded the paypal payment with a note saying sorry you paid the wrong amount because media mail is for book and paper only(I'm thinking to myself....I did send you a e-mail stating the shipping cost too) but didn't say that because it would have sounded rude....and now they don't answer any e-mail...how many vote NPB .Oh well just wanted to vent.First time I've had anyone pay the media mail rate.

toasted, I would give it a day or two before you file. It definitely sounds like your buyer does not know what they are doing.
I cant believe the amount of people out there that just DONT READ.

"Cybernetics Institute has found that short sentences communicate the best and that 50% of adults can't understand a sentence longer than 13 words anyway".

But Jack! The Cybernetics Institute sentence you quoted has 24 words. Does that mean they don't expect anyone to understand it???!!
The general ignorance in this country on lots of fronts never ceases to amaze me. Contestants on TV shows who don't know that France is in Europe! And the other night a contestant on Millionaire didn't know if the Missouri River empties into the Mississippi or the Pacific Ocean. Holy cow.
