I wish I could charge this bidder an extra fee for annoying me with e-mails. The widget's final bid was 9.99. It's a many piece, fragile widget that will be a pain to wrap - that didn't bother me initially - it's part of a large lot of similar widgets that I bought for $35.00 and I've already made a reasonable profit on them.

But thus far the winning bidder has sent 17 e-mails regarding her widget. Yesterday's first e-mail asked me if she had sent payment yet? (How would I know if she SENT payment?) I told her I hadn't received payment yet and so she sent another e-mail saying she would send payment tomorrow. We'll see.

My favorite set of e-mails though was the one that started with "Do you wrap carefully"? so I responded with how I would wrap her widget and then a few days later she sent me wrapping instructions.


No question here - just venting.

Oh Cherish I feel for ya ! I had a buyer like that about 2 months ago and got a couple of e-mails everyday till the package arrived (media mail 8 days SC-CA)...I was never so happy for a package to reach the buyer lol. Hang in there !

edited to add ...lol heres the feedback I left them...maybe other sellers will catch the best contact ever line <snicker>
"Best Contact Ever ! Instant Payment ,Very Friendly & Kind. A++++ Thanks !!"
