The 'my dog/cat walked on my keyboard and bid' always makes me laugh, or the child done it...

Saying that my cat has managed to bid for me. I'd typed in the amount and she walked over the return key:D

i remember on the news once someone said their baby had bid for a car, i cant believe the reporters fell for it

Best one i have at the mo is someone who's "mum has died" and is waiting for the insurance to pay out before she completes on the 99p item she has just bought. Then the shock has put her in hospital and can only email quickly as she is on patient line. Doesn't seem to have stopped her paying for anything else though !

feelgudtime

my best few i have had are

one of my children became ill so i have been busy with them
(right at the time when they clicked by it now)

latest is with paying by ehceque not so much NPB
i have paid via echeque it wont clear till xxx but need xxx days time can you please send funds are there
(give option to pay postal order or cash but they cant get to do either so cancel the order :mad: )

Not so much the excuse but....i sold a dress to a lady in America, after winning she said that she didn't want it...I explained that she still needed to pay or risk getting a strike.....she emailed me back to say "I will pray for your misery this summer".....nice!

a little while ago i got one from a guy saying it was his wife who had bid on the item, but she had been killed the day before by a hit and run driver so no longer needed the item....:eek:

i was tempted to write back and ask why if he was so traumatised had he just bought, paid for, and left positive feedback for a 37" TV and a new car....

but i politely cancelled the transaction and said nothing :lipsrseal
