Etiquette? How 'bout paying for the goods? So I recently listed my drag bike on Ebay with very specific terms in the main body of the ad "$1000.00 deposit due immediately from the winning bidder at auctions end. The difference by direct wire transfer -or- cash in person at time of pick only"

So one bidder calls me and we talk like 6-7 times prior to ending of auction, not including lots of emails in spite of being very detailed and clear in my descriptions. At this point I just about know his (and family's) life history. He wins the auction (Sunday evening early pm) and after 2 hours - no deposit. I email him and then receive a TEXT that now he wants to change up payment terms.

I call him and I now agree that I would take $5K through Paypal with an additional 3% added for the fees on my end to be paid by close of business Tuesday. I don't see it by 6:30 and then just about as I go to call him - he sends a message .........by text. Guess what it says?....................
