Purchased cover on eBay from local seller. Couple of dollars so not concerned with non-delivery for awhile. I tend to buy too much so often loose track of the cheaper items while keeping an eye on the more expensive items sent registered.
I have often wondered if things have slipped by and/or maybe I just forgot I received something.

The other day I checked my eBay messages and received this "Sorry about the delay but Glen unexpectedly passed away. The item is now in the mail"

Felt a bit sad on a number of levels. My little problems are just that, little.

Might just smell the roses today and give the loved ones a hug.

I think that is sad. I also think it extraordinary that someone just bereaved could be bothered to deal with the deceased's (somewhat trivial) eBay affairs.

That would be my very last concern.

I sold an item once, and got a letter in the mail with a cheque (from the USA), with a note saying the buyer had passed away, and someone was trying to settle his accounts, and asked me to send whatever it was they had bought anyhow.

I got an eBay purchase this week, with a note enclosed saying "sorry for the delay in shipping, I took a few days off to get married". The death of that guy's freedom.

Reminds me a little of this thread... A member was wondering where his stamps were, and the seller had gone to gaol for 14 months
