I'm currently fighting a worthless little **** weasel in New Jersey who's trying to scam me out of about 100 bucks. I prevailed with eBay and PayPal, but then he complained to his credit card company, so here we go again. I am 60 days in, with no resolution yet. Up to 75 or 80 days can pass to get to a resolution. The facts completely support my position, I just don't have faith that there will be an actual intelligent human with common sense rendering judgment.

Yep, I've seen this before. This is why when I had PayPal it was linked to a special Paypal-only account that I cleared out after I got the money.
After I sold my 944, I decided to sell some of the parts I had laying around on eBay. I literally had 7 auctions and ended up having problems with two of them.
1) My auctions all had flat shipping charges. I clearly stated that I would only ship within the U.S. I had a low-value part that was going to sell for around $15 with something like $5 flat shipping. I kept getting winning bids from someone from Germany. I figured out that it was going to cost me something like $50 to ship the part to him--I'd LOSE $30. I would contact the guy and tell him I only shipped in the U.S. and cancel his bid. 5 minutes later, he'd bid again and never reply. I barred him from bidding on my auctions. He finally finds the reply button and I got a profanity-laced tirade.
2) My auctions all had flat shipping charges. One of the people that I sold to (who happened to be a Pelican--he contacted me during the auction to let me know this) filed a dispute with eBay claiming that I overcharged him for shipping. Here's the kicker--my flat rate for that item was $15 and it cost me $14.98 to ship it to him. I ended up refunding him $0.02 because it wasn't worth my time to go through the dispute process even though my auction clearly stated that there was a flat shipping charge of $15 on the item.
