I have a confession to make that might just ruin my credibility as a seller...at least as a sane one (if anyone actually believes me to be, anyway).
The other day, due to a lost package, I was running a couple of hours behind schedule on my orders. Most of my items are handmade, many require some assembly before sending, and sometimes I make them as they are ordered - the lost package, for which a replacement was preferred, is a bit over an hour's work, and I also had a couple of other things which were around a three-hour job all told.
Anyway, just as I was finishing up and getting everything ready to post, I got an item sold notification. Under normal circumstances, that's great, but I sold the last ready-made piece of this particular item last week and hadn't got around to making another one.
It was another hour+ job, doable, but my first thought when I saw that email:
Oh God.... please don't pay! 
Funnily enough, they didn't until today. Phew!
(PS, Just in case, I thought I'd mention that I do understand how much frustration and other problems NPBs can cause, I'm not trying to make light of that, it's just that when I realised what my immediate reaction was, I found it kinda funny).
...at least as a sane one (if anyone actually believes me to be, anyway).
Do you think we are all mad?
