So I just this minute got e-mail from my eBay buyer. I had no idea that the whole “African internet scam” thing had come to eBay, but that’s what it looks like to me!
So I put up ten skeins of Noro Kochoran on eBay a couple of days ago, and somebody didn’t bother with the lowest bid, but instead met my “Buy It Now” price of $200. Which surprised me, but it’s a fair price, so I figure they just really wanted the yarn. I invoiced the buyer and didn’t hear back.
So I look today, and he or she has zero feedback. I look closer, and realize that they joined on the 14th, and are no longer a member.
What the heck? Did this person really join, buy something, then leave again? I don’t get it. I mean, they can just write and say “Lordy, I made a huge mistake, can we call it a wash?” and I’ll be okay with that. Or did they do it to a bunch of people and then scupper off?
What a mystery. I have no idea what to make of all this. Weird.
