Buyer not paying due to death in family?

emanon1967Member

Anybody have this happen to them? We got an email from this woman who said she won't be able to pay for the auction due to her aunt and 2 cousins being killed in a car accident. She said she has to go and help out her family.
While I am loathe to think someone would actually lie about this, I have to be suspicious. She also won an auction for a very similar item to mine about 20 mins after our auction ended. About 20 mins after that, I got this email.
What I want to do is contact the other seller and ask him if he also got a "death in the family" email from her. Would this be wrong?
Any info or opinions would be very helpful. Thank you!
