Ebay's EXCUSE LIST-I can't pay now because.. Any good ones?

Over the past 12 months I've seen a lot of people win a card and not pay for it and it be relisted, some even that I've sold. I'd like to start a list of excuses you may have gotten in the past. I'll start with a few I got this year.... (all of these people continued to have feedback show up for other stuff they won, but thought this excuse would work)

****COPY AND PASTE THE LIST, PLEASE DON'T QUOTE IT, ADD TO IT!!!***

I tried paying for this item, but being out of the country, my bank would not allow it.

For the whole message here it is:
I am currently attending a surgeon's convection in Canada. I tried paying for this item, but being out of the country, my bank would not allow it. I will be back in the states mon.and will be able to make a transaction asap, if this is unacceptable, i completly understand. i had no intentions of this happening, but i will not be offended if you pass this item on to the next highest bidder. Thanks for your time and again, i do apoligize, but have all intentions of paying you when i get back. Let me know on your decision either way.

Please note, he never paid after I repeatedly asked for payment when he was supposedly back in the country.
