I had the same thing happen to me...did he pay through paypal or was he bringing the cash to you when he picked it up?...I have learned to make all transactions through payapl. They will stand behind you if the deal fails. If you dont hear from him after seven days then you can report him to ebay. They have a 3 strike rule. This does not make up the time, effort and money lost but it will show others he is not trustworthy which is what I look for when buying or selling.
Good Luck with everything and remember...use paypal

Here is a link to eBay's instructions on starting a item unpaid claim. BTW, typically, on a vehicle sale, you would request a Paypal deposit of $500 or more within 24 hours of auction closing. This should be stipulated in your auction. Good luck.

Uh-oh... Am I going to be getting a call for some fun stuff on the car? t t p, if anyone is interested in the bike I'm sure it's freaking pristine. Judging by the Camaro, we've always been able to eat off of the floorboards in meatyz's car Uhh, not saying we did or anything though
