Nervous?  Show him a movie of an aquaintance crushing a Packard Bell
with his truck.  Tell him the truck does that to cars, too.  That ought
to make him nervous :)

If he doesn't pay, leave bad feedback and relist the item.  Get eBay to
refund the auction charges due to non-paying bidder.  It sucks, but
that's the only thing you can really do.

It's only like 5% or somthing - even less I think.  I dunno - I just
consider it an expense of doing business with Paypal.  The charges would
be similar if I had a merchant account to process credit cards.  It's
such an insignificant fee...

I vowed that once - but I keep going back.  The call of the greenback is
strong...
