    Like for an e-check? That can happen at any time. If you look at the details, I believe it will say "expected" clearing date, but it also lists a range of several days. Yep, I happen to have one and just checked. It says "Pending until December 23", then in details it says "eCheck estimated completion: Dec 23, 2013 - Dec 26, 2013." Hasn't cleared yet.

    I think if you don't have your account verified 'enough', they hold even regular payments until delivery of the item or somesuch. In that case I don't have an answer for you.

    I'm actually looking to sell that Neo Geo Pocket Color mentioned before. Shouldnt have bought it. It works perfectly and the games do too I just have too many bills and it was an impulse buy I also currently don't have a job. I have a thread up in the buying and selling forum but figured I'd post it here too. More information can be found a few posts up thanks

    Not at all, hence the link

    It's all about the absurdity of the rule, the exception to that rule, and then the exceptions to the exception, AND the exceptions to those exceptions.

    Holy crap! You just solved the biggest issue of my life.
    We were only ever taught the first part in elementary school. I've had a lifetime of poor spelling ever since.
    Now if only I could figure out double consonant sounds/spellings.

    I had the EXACT thing happen to me with a buyer on some Sega Genesis cases. Long story short, he paid and i sent the items to him. Never heard from him again. I sent him a long email suggesting that he take responsibility for his actions and to be a beacon of righteousness in this dark age and do the right thing. I may have touched him spiritually. eBay...what a joke sometimes.

    I think that these problem buyers might just be various rabbits that got ahold of computers with internet connections and registered ebay accounts.

    Ah, but you mentioned box! I thought I was bidding on the cardbox box! Not the plastic case! Boxes and cases are different!

    Does it include the game?

    Two mistakes:

    One, the font is too tiny, you should've made it bold, centered, and 48pt.

    Two, no blink tag.

    If I could remember my log in details for eBay (if that account even still exists, I dunno maybe they purge them for inactivity) I would be reallly tempted to send you a question asking about the condition of the disc.

    The blink tag well and truly died a while ago; no major browsers support it anymore. I suppose it's still possible to throw in an animated GIF or some funky javascript. Maybe it will come to that.

    Maybe I should say "case" instead of "box". My concern is that people might not grasp what "case" means.

    There is still the marquee tag which can also be used to blink text.

    It just occurred to me that you could use the audio tag to autoplay a loop of an extremely compressed sound file of you saying that the auction is for an empty box.
