Is this a subtle way of delaying payment or backing out? My auction ended as a BIN… invoice with totals and my address was sent within 10 minutes to the bidder. Two days later I received an email asking for an invoice. The third day I sent another email asking if she/he is receiving my emails. No response. Looked at her auctions and she is still active so her email must be working. ???
Sure, things could happen. But it’s mighty suspicious! This similar pattern occurred with a few others in the past and in retrospect I now recognize is as a prelude to NPB status. This buyers feedback is satisfactory and this will probably fly, but the early signs are there. If people only knew how important communication is!

Open a free Yahoo email account and try contacting her from that one. Her ISP may have yours blocked or all email from your ISP may be winding up in her spam folder. When you contact her again, don't use the word Ebay or an item number in the header. As a last resort, forward the auction to her with your EOA via Ebay's "send this auction to a friend" feature.
