Hi all,

I started this thread for anyone who wants to come here for lite discussion, jokes, and just general discussion and fun.

Everyone is welcome!

I was thinking that maybe it would be helpful to keep the original thread to a bit more of a serious discussion of the clues and answers.

This would make the original thread more useful to those seeking serious information and clues without having to read through hundreds of extraneous messages.

So, I hope it catches on !

So pop a beer and pull up a chair and relax !

Wow!! Thats too bad. But It seems promising anyway - didn't just blow you off. I sure hope it all works out Smilie wait here is a thought........ If they are sending a MO why not just have them send it to her??? would save some hassle
Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, but she is not around and I have no idea what her address is. Didn't want to leave the buyer hanging, so just gave them my address - which I really didn't want to do either. Oh well, just keeping my fingers crossed that the MO arrives next week & it will all turn out well in the end.

No, I wouldn't bounce a check - never have. That's a good idea. I will run it past her when she finally gets back on the FF. It will take a little longer that way, but that's what the buyer gets for not reading ebay's payment rules.

That's what we are all wondering.

Just got a message from the buyer, and guess what? New user didn't read ebay's rules about payments - only PayPal or credit card payments are allowed. Buyer doesn't have a PayPal account, and I have no way to accept credit cards.

They are supposed to send me a Money Order (I won't accept a personal check!) on Monday. So, this whole thing still isn't over yet. Sure hope I get the MO, and have no problems cashing it. I will then have to depsoit the $$ into my bank account, transfer the money to my PayPal account, then send the money to shesays' PayPal account.

Gonna' take a little longer than expected, and have to jump through some hoops, but hopefully it will all work out in the end.

I can't beleive I missed the end of the bidding

You better get that MO or we're going after him bounce

WEll if they are not sending it till monday - maybe there is still time. and keeping him hanging til monday wouldn't be bad, considering it is his fault. I'm sure Shesays
will be here before then. (Not trying to convince you, just trying to add Ideas)

we would list Paypal, MO or CC in our listings and people would send personal checks. OK, we'll take them anyway.... then they would email they didn't get their item when promised... simple..... just have to wait 'till my bank clears your check. Read the listing !

I have her address, I sent her some coupons. I don't think she would mind me giving it to you for that.

Don't worry M & Shesays. Seriously, if he doesn't pay I'll still back my bid and we can have a video tapped burning of the pee pee with one of those new El monterey cameras

Life in general would be so much easier and pleasant if people would just READ and UNDERSTAND the rules. Rtfm

Thanks hon. I already gave the buyer my address, but if you give me hers, I can send another message to them & have them send the MO to her directly - if you don't think she would mind.
