How odd. After a year on ebay without this happening, twice this week I have had payment come in...with no payment for shipping. They just paid the sale price. One came via PayDirect and they paid a second time for shipping...but so far have never given a shipping ADDRESS so here the item still sits.
Then today I got cash in the mail...but short the shipping cost.

Hi - what does your EOA say? It seems people are reading less and less. I changed mine so that the very first figure given was the total amount due...i.e. please remit $xx ($xx + $x priority shipping) within , etc., and haven't had a problem since.

I think it's a phenominon - it's been happening to me too. Funny thing is, in my auction descriptions I state: Buyer agrees to add and prepay $3.90 postage for USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation in the United States. INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR POSTAGE RATES. SHIPPING COSTS VARY. Internationals have been sending $3.90, and locals (quite a few) just don't send shipping at all!
You are not alone, believe me. It's also happening with a friend of mine who sells the same stuff I do.
