I am so sorry about your bad experience with Ebay....I had one myself this past month....I paid for the item right away, within the hour...it took numerous emails and three weeks to get it....I finally got a response when I told her I was going to leave negative feedback....she finally emailed me and told me I was threatening her.....I responded with not a threat I am serious....if she had to wait three weeks for money she would already have contacted Ebay.....But overall my Ebay experience has been a good one..everyonce in a while you get one like this..
