I got a pair of vintage Ray-ban sunglasses as a throw in at a garage sale and now for the 2nd time I have sold them and bidder isn't paying. First time guy never paid that was that (0 feedback 1 day old account), this time the guy says he is on a military base in Qatar and can I ship them there? I said no I have to ship them to the address provided, so he isn't going to pay. (0 feedback 3 day old account) I don't block new ebay people, but of all the nonpayers I get they make up 95% of them.
Cursed item.

Case File: Chair of Death
Location: Thirsk, England
Date: 1669
Description: Located near Sandhutton in North Yorkshire, the Busby Stoop Inn is a public house with a tavern that is considered haunted. The activity seems confined to a reputed Chair of Death kept in storage.
CaseEdit
History: The Chair of Death was the favorite chair of a striper named Thomas Busby, who was convicted in 1702 for the murder of his father-in-law, Daniel Auty, whom he supposedly strangled for sitting in his favourite chair after an argument about Thomas' wife, Auty's daughter Elizabeth. On his way to the gallows in 1702, he asked to stop by the pub and a curse on his chair, claiming that anyone who sat in it would soon die. It remained in the pub for centuries, and people were dared to sit in it. During World War II, airmen from an nearby base made the pub a hot spot, and the chair became a "hot seat" and people noticed that the ones who sat in it would never come back from war. In 1967, two Royal air force pilots sat in it, and while driving back, they crashed into a tree and died. A few years later, two brick layers decided to try it, and that afternoon, the one who sat in it fell to his death. The cursed chair has apparently "killed" every person who sat in it, no matter what. Some instances include a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he was working on collapsed, and a cleaning woman stumbled into it while mopping, and was later killed by a brain tumor. Eventually, the pub owner moved it into the basement, hoping that nobody would sit in it. However, one day a delivery man was in the basement and sat in it. An hour later, he crashed his truck and died. After that death, the landlord asked the local museum to take it and ensure nobody sat in it again, so they hung the chair five feet from the ground. Recently, the current owner of the pub heard of another death. During World War II, a truck driver picked up two airmen, and they wanted him to stop at the pub, and while they were in the bathroom the driver unknowingly sat in the chair. When the airmen didn't return, he left, and when one of them later found him he killed him. It seems, for now, that because it is nearly impossible to be able to sit in it, its "killing" days are over. The Busby Stoop Inn closed in 2012.
Background: In 1702, convicted murderer Thomas Busby was on his way to the gallows in Thirsk when he desired a drink of ale at his favorite pub in his favorite chair as his last request. When he finished, he said "May sudden death come to anyone who dare sit in my chair."
Investigations: None
Extra Notes: The case first aired on the May 22, 1998 episode. The chair was also featured in an episode of the anime, "Hetalia: Axis Powers." In the episode, one of the characters switches another character's chair with this one, but the wrong person sits in it. It is outmatched by the evil aura of the person sitting in it and breaks stating that it wont work on him.
Results: Unsolved

I've had a lot of fake ebay accounts bid on my stuff the past month.
I set my buyer requirements block buyers who Don't have a PayPal account
Have not had a problem since
