OK, new policy:
I'm not accepting ANY payments after the loser has been FVF'd. I don't care if I still have the item, or if he's itching to get back on eBay to buy a new kidney for Aunt Sadie who's on dialysis 24/7.
Loser #1:
PayPals me the funds for the auction SEVEN weeks after it closed and after I've FVF'd him. OK, maybe I can find another of his item to send him. THEN he complains loudly that he has now paid twice by PayPal and throws in a few choice personal insults.
Action: Refunded his money. Told him to stick it where the sun don't shine. Blocked him.
Loser #2:
Writes me on a daily basis nagging me to reverse the FVF. I respond with what I do each time: Sure, I just need your eBay id. I can't use your email address and this auction is so old I can't look it up (nor would I).
Email from him:
Watch CLOSLEY!
t * * b * d * * x
Got it?
It's not that difficult.....
T * * B * D * * X
just that series of letters
BTW an email address usually has a @ symbol associated with as well as a .(location) such as com,net or edu.
If you go back and reread my email- I believe I have already told you t**b*d**x {no, he never did}
no @ symbol
no .com,net,edu or other location
remember it's just those letters- t**b*d**x - in that sequence
if you can't tell the difference between a username and an email address..."
Action: Told him I'd get right on reversing his FVF...sometime in 2010. Advised him not to wait up.
Our motto: Bright and shiny baubles for persons with low impulse control.

you are sooo good, Fluff!
yanno, i just looked for that id and it isn't valid. I assume its because he's been kicked off ebay?

Certainly now it is.
This was before the 13 cent eDC rate came into effect for First Class mail.
Even so, I still have the occasional hopeful who thinks I'll believe the story about their missing packages. Got one right now, in fact. She seems to have missed the point that two of the items she claims are missing were shipped in the same box with four items she said she received.
