I just need to rant. Also interested to see whether people think I'm being conned.
I sold an item of baby clothing on 12th December. The buyer didn't pay for fricking ages but I CBA to chase her as it was just before Christmas and I didn't particularly want to make the trip to the PO anyway.
On 4th January, still without paying, she sent a message out of the blue saying "hi holidays not too good this year as my disease put me in hospital. i am giving this lil jacket to my first grandaughter due in march. dr says i wont make it that lomg, but i am determined to see her in her red coat once! thanks so much i'll be waiting for it!" and left me positive feedback 
Perhaps I'm being cynical, but I wondered whether she hadn't paid so that I would chase her, then she could give me her line about being terminally ill and guilt me into sending the item for free.
I replied saying "So sorry to hear that - really hope you get to see her in it, it's a cute set :) My ebay is still showing payment not received - can you check your end?" She replied saying that it was showing as paid her end 
but payment came through on 6th Jan so I duly sent it off.
I then heard nothing until 22nd Jan, when she sent a message saying that she'd paid and asking for a shipping date. I replied with "Hiya :) It went out a few weeks ago so should be with you shortly. Let me know if it doesn't turn up. Best wishes, [Dita]". This seems friendly enough to me (?). Generally if stuff doesn't arrive then I ask buyers to give it a couple more weeks and then refund if it still doesn't arrive.
So last night I received this from her: "I sure hope so. It is size newborn and she is due in 4 weeks! I have ordered several things from different countries and NEVER had it take this long to reach me. I am leary of ordering from the UK now ( i think thats where you would be shipping from, i may have to look up where u r) its not that you have done anything terrible, i just feel like you care not if it gets here in time or not. Like if situation were reversed, i'd try hard to show that I cared about your specific order . I am sorry as I was hoping to establish repeat business relationship with you since our conversations have had been so pleasant. I still wish u the most success."
Wtf? Not really sure what else I'm supposed to have done - personally pursued it through Royal Mail? Now she's not going to buy any more things from the UK and the cut-price baby clothes market is going to go down the pan and it's all my fault! Plus she's not going to buy any more of my stuff - erm, you told me you'd be dead by March, lady, this isn't the worst threat you could have come out with.
Argh! (I'm am pregnant and hormonal btw 
)
Now about to message her pointing out that there are delays with the US mail due to increased homeland security and um the MASSIVE FUCKING STORMS but really I just want to tell her to fuck off.
And relax ...
