If you had time to e-mail Jim back and forth during the first 3 weeks AFTER he had sent the funds via PAYPAL (instant payment) .. then you had plenty of time to let him know that you couldn't get him his item to him by 5/05. What in the world was going on during those 3 weeks?!?!?! And, where was his money during that time? The bottomline is that if you want the money up front and quick, then you need to do the same once the funds are received .. ship it out immediately. It seems to me that you needed some fast cash and got it. I sell a lot on eBay .. before and after my job .. and yes, we have a young child, too! I guess some people are more conscientious than others. 'Nuff said.
