Filed Unpaid Item dispute with eBay.

2nd PAYMENT EXTENSION – Wed 27/07/05.

Tue 19/07/05 (Auction closed 7 days ago) Wed 20/07/05 (Auction closed 8 days ago)

black.mistress' email:

As quoted from black.mistress' email:
"i ill send the payment by tm" (21/07/05)

black.mistress said that she’d pay by Thur 21/07/05.

Still no sign of payment in my bank account.

By the way, I actually can close the Unpaid Item dispute on Wed 27/07/05 00:01 hrs. But I gave her another 24 hours by mistake.
Ya, my own stupid fault.

My email:

Wed 27/07/05 11 pm (Auction closed 15 days ago)

black.mistress' email:

Let’s do a quick summary.

Auction has been closed since 15 days ago and the total payment is less than S$19.

Whenever the deadline is nearing, these are her responses:

If you were me and you got her last email, how would you react?? At this time, the auctions have been closed for 15 days.

For other buyers, after 7 days of non-payment, they are automatically given bad rating. But I extended hers because I thought that she was really busy (stupid me).

My email:

3rd PAYMENT EXTENSION – Thur 28/07/05.

black.mistress was awarded 2 bad ratings on 25/07/05.

black.mistress' email:

1) My previous email to black.mistress' wasn’t rude. I didn’t use any capital letters.

2)I had also given black.mistress' more than sufficient time to make payment. Whenever each deadline is near, black.mistress is aware of it and is able to email for more time.

3)I had given black.mistress' (up to today) 16 days more than the usual 3 days. That’s not enough??

4) black.mistress' regretted bidding from me?! Come on, I am the one who’s waiting for her payment like an idiot. I regretted being kind & extending the deadline so many times and listening to her excuses.

5) She can delay payment for 16 days but expects her item to arrive within 3 days. Thank you very much.

Thur 28/07/05 12 pm (Auction closed 16 days ago)

My email:

P.S: I got a habit of talking to people in the same language that they talked to me.

Thur 28/07/05 8:45 pm (Auction closed 16 days ago)

black.mistress' email:

1) black.mistress said that she “MADE ny payment already”.

2) black.mistress' implication: that I would, out of spite, send out bad items. Again, let me stress. I DO NOT stoop to other people’s level.

3) “MONEY DEMAND BY U” – YOU BID FOR THE ITEMS ON YOUR OWN ACCORD (did I put a gun to your head and tell you to buy from me?), TAKE YOUR OWN SWEET TIME TO PAY & CAN SAY THAT I "DEMAND THE MONEY". WOULD I “DEMAND” MONEY IF YOU DIDN’T BID FOR THE ITEMS?! WOULD I “DEMAND” MONEY IF YOU HAD PAID UP ASAP?! Thanks.

Checked my bank account:

Where's black.mistress "payment"?

Fri 29/07/05 11:31 AM (Auction closed 17 days ago)

Being nice, I gave her extra 11 hours of the deadline.

Checked my account again:

End of story.
