Advice about my buyer please

mrsw

A fairly new buyer won one of my auctions over a week ago. She registered at the end of June, and has feedback of 33 with 1 neg for non payment this month. After the auction finished, I asked how she wanted to pay (I only accept cheque or postal orders), and received a stroppy response asking why she couldn't use Paypal because she has no other means of paying me. I politely pointed out that I don't accept it, but suggested she could send cash (it was only £4) via recorded delivery.

This was last Monday. On Wednesday, I received another rude email saying "sent my money, where's my item" Again, I politely replied saying I hadn't received her payment. She claims to have sent it via recorded delivery, so I asked her to find out more from RM. No response.

This morning, still no payment, and when I checked on ebay, she is no longer a registered user?? I then checked her feedback again, and noticed that allthough she has 33 positive feedback from sellers, she has not left a single feedback comment to anyone. Should I be suspicious? I was under the impression that most sellers don't leave feedback until they receive it from the buyer.

For the sake of £4, it hardly seems worth worrying about, but I can't help feeling like she's trying it on. What would you do?

If you get payment send the item. She can't do anything now she's NARU'd so if payment does not arrive you have nothing to worry about.

I can't quite see what the problem is here.

Lodge you non paying bidder claim and get your fees back and if money hasn't been received in a day or so relist (I suspect you will hear nothing more).
