VM: Have you checked with the buyer to see what email address was used? If someone is spoofing your email, you need to know asap.

Write the fellow back, tell him to find the email he received, and to forward it (w/headers expanded) to SafeHarbor. The investigators will want the address the "seller" told the person to mail the payment to.

Can you be really sure that there is a bogus seller involved? Maybe this "bidder", high class as he might seem, is extorting money from sellers by writing emails such as this and then threatening them with mail fraud, etc. I'm sure that some people would cough up the $$$, even if they've never heard of the guy before, rather than deal with the complications of legal action. Definitely bears investigation for one reason or the other!!

I would track that dog down and turn him over to Ebay. What a cheap SOB. Ticks me off that we take pics, do ad copy, pay fees etc etc for flakes like this.

Well, good news. Turns out it's a false alarm.
The user who wrote me is apparently hot after one of these widgets and wrote me in error. Seems he had all of these auctions on watch and simply mailed the wrong seller.
Relief!
I'll say again, he was a classy guy and I hope he gets his item.
