I won an auction on 10-31. For reasons unknown, even to me, I forgot to pay for it. I think I was planning on sending a M.O., because my P.O.Box wasn't verified on my PayPal account.
Well, I noticed my feedback rating went up 1 today. The seller left me a positive feedback! That's when I realized I'd goofed, and it seems he did, too. So, I was all ready to whip off an email begging forgiveness with a promise to send a M.O. in the morning. Then, I went to pay for another auction with PayPal and noticed that now my P.O. Box IS a verified address (it wasn't before, just my street address).
So, I immediately paid the guy.
My darker, uglier side couldn't help but wonder if they hadn't made a mistake on their end, and were shipping my stuff thinking I'd paid for it.
Luckily, my darker, uglier side doesn't have much influence over what I do! I don't need the $53 that bad.
I just thought this was unusual enough to mention. I don't know if the seller is having bookkeeping problems, or what, but everything worked out ok in the end.

It's the new approach to NPB's; positive reinforcement.

Hmmm.... maybe this is a sign! Maybe they'll all have accented hair Kennedys!
