If they've agreed, its supposed to be via paypal, and you haven't heard back from them; I'd say a week would be appropriate. Similar to the "sending late" thing. I just try to include a statement in my email that I expect payment within 24 or 48 hours (depending on my mood) and if I don't hear back within that time frame I send an email saying the deal is off and I'll relist the cards. Its worked okay for me. Half the time i get an email saying they'll pay asap, the other half I never hear back from again.

So if I do hear back from them and they no longer want it, I can BTA them, right? And if I never hear from them again I obviously BTA them.

If you're feeling vindictive. As long as they did e-mail you back saying something along the lines of "yes, I'll take these cards and will have payment sent as soon as possible, here is my shipping info," you probably have a case.

If all that happened was you sent them an invoice based on their post and they just never got back to you, chances are that BTA will be tossed pretty fast.

Yes, that indeed is Megan who is the MTGMom. The thing you don't see here is that Megan has been personally attacked because she had a problem with the playmat.

Sucks for her but also part of a being a public figure and putting your opinions out there.

Seriously? You really think that someone telling her that "any female that is offended by this picture is insecure with herself and needs to look within for answers on how to deal with stuff like this" is appropriate? Public figure or not, that's a load of crap.

It's not the first of many horribly misogynistic/exploitative products marketed to mtg players and it probably will not be the last. I personally find it offensive and I think it’s unfortunate that the market exists to even make producing stuff like this worthwhile. I would be terribly embarrassed to use something like this in public and I would politely ask any opponent using something like this to turn it over.

I do realize there are far too many mtg players who see stuff like this, scream "BOOBIES!!!" and then pull out their wallets. Many of those are the same guys who whine about how no women play magic or girls look down on them for their hobby. It's stuff like this that steers women away from magic, because it shows women as nothing more than subservient sex workers catering to their master.

There’s a tremendous difference between tasteful fantasy art and stuff like this. People have the right to produce art like it and consumers will vote with their dollars, but I think wotc made the right decision in asking the TO to pull this from an officially sanctioned event. It likely would have been a PR nightmare if this were allowed to stand.
