    home business SC...

    I'm starting to feel Seraph's pain...

    I own a small business run 99% online (just bought stock to open a tiny booth at the flea market), had a lady place a largish order (just shy of $100), and all the paperwork saying she'd send me a check.

    This was Thursday 2 weeks ago. Sent an email this past Friday with a friendly reminder that payment had not been received....no response. I'm sending another one Friday stating that if payment has not been received I'm canceling the order.

    For the record I have NOT shipped the order, since I had a feeling that payment wouldn't be on time.....just gut instinct.

    Whats the bet she turns full SC when I cancel?

        Just ensure that any emails stating that the email address was false (such as MAILER - DAEMON) didn't mistakenly go to your spam folder or something similar. Did she also leave a phone number?

          no she didn't....

          I gave slightly more leaway on payment getting here since it WAS over the easter weekend, and I've not had emails bounce back to me.

            Maybe try sending her a snailmail letter as well. It would likely arrive at just about the same time as the email.

              I just had a guy like this. I've been selling stuff I don't need anymore online to clear out some room. This guy bought about $200 worth of stuff. I sent him an email letting him know I would ship it as soon as I get payment. I waited for almost 2 weeks, sending a reminder of payment every couple of days. He finally emailed me back asking why I haven't sent everything yet and to stop asking for the payment because he wont pay till he can inspect it. He got upset when I told him that it doesn't work that way. It's payment before shipping to be sure I don't get scammed. He then tried to tell me that no one asks for payment first and that I was being unreasonable. I told him again that I will not ship until he pays and that I have given him enough time to pay so he has 24 hours to pay me or I will cancel the sale and relist everything. His swear ladened email came 30min later. I printed it and now look at when I need a good laugh.

                I'm giving her till Friday, to either have the payment here, or email me with a arrival date....

                otherwise my next email will be a notification of order canceled, and her name being restricted on my site from ordering.
