Always with the stories during the holidays. About a $50 item. Guy placed 6 last day and several last minute bids on an item I had that ended December 20th.
He was obviously bidding in real time and not sniping.
So instead of paying right when the auction is over, even though he's present and see's he just won, he waits 9 days and then contacts me to tell me his wife has been admitted to the ICU, he's with her and is not able to complete the sale, and can I cancel his bid.
On the off chance he's actually telling the truth I won't out him on here, but I usually get one or two of these every December it seems.
If people would just stop buying stuff on Ebay, they might avoid all these tragedies happening to their loved ones.
