Got a message from a buyer yesterday asking me to please send the stamps or refund them. They were a significant repeat buyer, but the last time they purchased stuff was this time in 2024! I figured that is pretty weird, so I asked them when they purchased the item (hoping they weren't really talking about a year old older). They weren't, on their end, they believe they purchased and paid for it on January 18 this year. (the repeat buyer aspect is probably why they waited so long before contacting me). I checked everything I have, no emails, no orders on that date and no $$$ received from their ID. The lot in question is a multi item lot and someone else a 1000 miles away did purchase one as well on the same day. It leads me to believe some sort of ebay glitch happened and it didn't recognize their purchase at all, at least from my end. I asked them to talk to the support folks, it will be interesting to see what comes back from that. I'm annoyed because they bought a lot of stuff from me last year, this stupid glitch is probably going to cost me a good customer but time will tell.
