So I won an auction for a stroller on Ebay....
and it was for a Local Pick Up in Huntington or she would ship it. Obviously I am going to pick it up. Right after the auction ended, I sent her a note saying that I would pick it up (This was on Wednesday) and that I could come on Thursday or Friday during my lunch break or any time this weekend. I got a email from her about 30 minutes later that said "I assume you will pick this up and pay cash?" I responded yes and gave her my availability and phone number.
I haven't heard from her since. I sent a follow up email yesterday and one today. W TF?
Any advice?

People are so strange 
I'd also make sure you contact her directly through e-bay as well...In case for some wierd reason she tries to put negative feed-back if she backs out or something...good luck

I know -  I have been sending all the emails via Ebay. I hope nothing happened to her, but I just don't get people! I need this stroller so either tell me to come get it ot tell me you don't want to sell it anymore and I'll go to BRU! Geez...

Why do you think she is strange?
Many people may decide to do a local pickup and pre-pay with Paypal to put it on a credit card. Some sellers actually prefer a pre-paid paypal payment so they know they got the money.
I love to pre-pay Paypal for local pickups since I can use my rewards CC. But as a seller i'll NEVER allow any paypal payments on a local pickup. Because you have no seller protection. All the buyer has to do is pay with paypal, pick up the item, then file a chargeback. Seller has no way to prove the item was sent to the buyer because Paypal REQUIRES you to ship the item. Local pickups are not allowed under their seller protection policy.
So maybe this person was just looking out for themselves. I don't see anything strange about it at all.
I am sure she isn't going to back out since you can leave her a negative.

Its strange because Christine has been trying to schedule the pick up and is being ignored - thats annoying.

Exactly what i was getting at ...
So many people on the other end of the selling/buying thing are strange in general....
So many times I have listed things on Craigs List, only to wait home all day for people to show and they never come !!
And its always the ones who call a bazillion times so so interested and then suddenly they disappear after they don't show
