I always respond with info as to when it was shipped, etc. Nothing more...I think some of these people expect the item to appear via the computer like email, instantly!

The I HAVEN'T RECEIVED MY ITEM YET Form
Customer: It's been 24 hours since I paid for my item and I haven't received it yet!!!!!!!!!!!
Seller, choose one:
"I'll alert CNN."
"Really? Well, then! You qualify for a FREE HOME VISIT from Brad Pitt! Brad's gonna be stopping by sometime in the next fourteen days, so make sure you don't leave your house for any reason."
"I'm so sorry to hear that. The only place you can get instant gratification is on Hollywood Boulevard. It'll cost you $250."
"And pigs haven't learned to fly yet, either, but Babe's upstairs right now strapping on a pair of cardboard wings."
"It's been six weeks since your husband got any from you, but do you see HIM complaining?"
"This is the Pentagon. We regret to inform you that despite a 16 trillion-to-one chance of it happening, the keystrokes you typed matched an old nuclear launch code and your point of origin has been targeted by ICBMs. You have approximately 18 minutes until detonation. Good luck."

Email her back and tell her that you had to wash it in a bleach solution to get the mildew out and that as soon as it is dry enough to pack you will send it.

In our lovely America, we Americans have come to expect instant gratification. Now with the complexity of eBay auctions, listing, waiting, seeing the bid action, making it beyond "reserve" (yay!), closing emails to the winner, they email you back, you arrange payment options, they email you that they sent payment (nice!), then the bozos think the internet is like a Polaroid with Scotty at the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise Transport Room only to beam your sold item from you and redirect delivery to your buyer. Hey Guys and Gals! IT AIN'T A POLAROID AND eBay AIN'T STAR-TREK! WAKE UP AMERICANS!

rgion, yeah, we need to add one more to iareateacher's list:
Sorry, Mr Scott sends his regrets. Our dilithium crystals are drained, so the transporter is malfunctioning. We were forced to send your item overland. It will be hand-delivered by a government courier in a blue uniform.
