@vonny,
I saw that someone purchased an item from me on ebay on the 8th.....She sends me an email saying she'd like me to mail the item to her ASAP, as she wants to give it to someone at a party of the 11th.
Thing is, she didn't pay me (besides the fact that even if I was paid on the 8th, there's no guarantee it would arrive by some unknown time on the 11th) BTW, on this item, since I was selling it for over $150, I offered free shipping.
I replied to her saying I couldn't mail until she had paid.
She gets around to paying me on the 10th....after 12 noon, and sends me another message saying she'd still like to get it by tomorrow. 'cha right.
I responded I'd be glad to overnight it to her, but would have to charge her $45 for overnight shipping, which would cover the shipping cost.
She responded "oh.....I don't want to have to pay. You offered free shipping."
I responded I'm sure the recipient will enjoy the gift when it's received by her sometime next week, and nameste.
