But when the seller doesn't give you the payment info when asked, what do you do?

My issue is there are serial dibbers. They do driveby dibs. Then it is on you to PM them and try to engage them. They might totally ignore your PM even though they publicly claimed dibs. Meanwhile I've got someone else who came along 5 minutes later who sent me a PM and offers to take full price and pay pal me right now. F that. Dib guy has zero priority in those situations. You want to buy what I am selling start a conversation. Shouting "dibs" for all to see doesn't qualify.
And I see these jokers who are looking for something, maybe some 7x15 Fuchs or some Weber 40IDAs. They go through the classifieds and territorial piss their dibs on several threads. Now they are locking up 3 different buyers when the reality is they will only close with 1 of them. Get lost.

I too have dealt with that too, some things multiple times, but I generally give people the benefit of doing the right thing, and most of the time it works out, as things do happen to people.
When you have been collecting "I might need this one day" for close to 30 years, and you inherit
TWO other "I might need this one day" collections, one day you realize that you have a LOT of stuff, and when you have a few unfinished projects, you start selling or trading for what you will use on your cars.
