Today I checked my email and I got an email from this one punk buyer from Ebay who finally decided to write me. Blowtis, I mean Curtis, won my auction on August 16th... This guy just does not know the meaning of prompt. He was late to reply to his emails and worse of all, I wasn`t even sure he was going to pay for the item he won. But finally he emailed me with this:
***
It's now been over a month since you received my check for the breakdancing videos. Please send them immediately. If you need to reach me, email me at
curtism***@hotmail.com ***
Oh HeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllLLLLLZ No! Please send them immediately? ParTnah, you must be on crack! Here is what I responded:

It has not been over a month since I received your check. I left for Japan two weeks ago and your check was nowhere to be found at that time. Three days ago my ex-roommate in San Diego told me that I received a check from you. So yes, I did finally receive a check from you, but that was after how many weeks of the auction close date? And what did I say in my instructions for the auction? It said payment must be received within 5 days of auction close date. 5 DAYS!!!
Then you tell me on September 3 that you will send out the check because you forgot to include the house number on the address so the check was returned to you. I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and thought that two weeks was plenty of time to receive a check, send out the videos, and thus complete this transaction. How wrong was I to assume that. I did not receive the check within that time period and I had to leave for Japan. Why do you think I specified the instructions on my auction page? To pass time and hope potential buyers would merely note the directions but not really follow them? I will be sending you your videos but it will be up to my parents to do it. After I didn`t receive the check, I took the package to my parent`s Los Angeles residence and left it there in case you did happen to send the check. Honestly, I don`t even know why I still felt obliged to accomodate you after your blatant disregard for specific instructions, not to mention your propensity to be tardy with everything including your email replies.
My parents just left Japan two days ago and I already sent them an email telling them to send out the package. So you have to wait Curtis. Seriously, I don`t see how you get off telling me to send these tapes immediately when you did not send payment in such a fashion. I have dealt with negligent buyers in the past who made up excuses for not wanting to pay, but as for buyers who end up paying in your timely fashion... this is a first. So wait a week. You made me wait well more than that.***
