Several months ago I purchased a chemise (that's a Civil War era undergarment, kind of like an undershirt) from an Ebay seller and had a good transaction. In face I liked it so much that I purchased a second one. The seller had a note on the page saying not to order during a couple of weeks in June, that she would be away. It was after the time when she said she would be gone, so I did a Buy-it-Now and paid for the item. Nothing happened. No item, never shipped. I sent several messages, no response. Today I looked at the feedback and there were several other people that this happened to, all of us made purchases in June/July. This was a nice lady and I didn't want to leave negative feedback, since it seems quite obvious that something has happened to her. So today I opened a case for the transaction on Ebay and told them that it appears that the seller is either sick or deceased and suggested that since this has happened to quite a few buyers that the store be closed to prevent further purchases. This is the first time I've had something like this happen. She has quite a few Buy-it-Now items that run long term and I felt like I ought to do something.
