"I feel real bad about how things went down ... " (more)as far as the auction, and i want to send you your winnings. i must confess i have just recenttly moved, and it will be no small task to accomplish this promise. However I will do my best and prioritize this transaction as soon as I receive your shipping information. Again forgive me for the delay.ps, of course i will need the original winning bid credits refunded to my account. Thanks"
"Although the transaction didn't work out ... " (more) because the seller wasn't able to ship the item, he graciously refunded my credits to me. So I think that's a positive thing."
