October 2

11:14 Buyer: Hello. I have just completed the purchase. Thank you very much in advance for the transaction.

12:03 Seller: Thank you for your purchase! The original box was still around, so I’ll pack it in that and send it off! I should be able to ship it tomorrow.

12:10 Buyer: Thank you for your courtesy. I look forward to its arrival.

October 3

9:47 Seller: Just shipped it! Should arrive in 2 or 3 days!

9:58 Buyer: Thank you for letting me know. I will be in touch once I have received it.

October 5

18:21 Buyer: It arrived safely today. The careful packing was much appreciated. I had been looking for one to sew my child’s costume for a school performance, so I will take good care of it.

19:02 Seller: So glad it arrived safely! I used it for a long time, so it makes me happy that it’ll get some use! Good luck with the costume!

October 6

20:35 Buyer: Sorry to message you again. Last night the needle would not move no matter how I turned the handwheel, and I panicked — then I remembered the message you had sent earlier, and once I slid the bobbin-winder shaft back to the left as instructed, it moved properly again. Thank you very much.

20:58 Seller: So glad to hear it!

20:59 Seller: Sorry, the thing about the bobbin winder — did I send you a message about that?

21:04 Buyer: Yes, I received it last night.

21:11 Seller: I see. I’m sorry, I don’t remember sending it. Though the whole time we had it, when it wouldn’t move it was almost always that shaft, so it is right, at least

21:16 Buyer: I’m sorry, I was just going back through the history

21:18 Buyer: This is an odd thing to ask, but on your screen, which message does the evening of the 5th end on?

21:20 Seller: It ends at mine, the one that says so glad it arrived safely

21:21 Seller: Is something wrong?

22:47 Buyer: No. I believe it was my misunderstanding. My apologies for the late hour.

October 7

8:19 Buyer: Thank you very much for everything. I will take good care of the machine.
