why i hate Ebay.

Good luck....Ebay will do nothing unless it affects their wallet directly. Also be warned if the guy used paypal he can dispute the transaction and they will automatically remove money from your account and in the end they will likely find for the buyer. I've been through this with a guy that bought something for a friend and then only paid for it when I filed a non paying bidder complaint....then once he got it made up a lie about the item and filed with paypal...in the end paypal said "it's your word vs. his" and authorized a refund for him. I never got the part back and the dirtbag got his refund...despite him sending messages through the ebay system which showed proof....but even though paypal is owned by ebay they do not have access to emails sent through the ebay system.

Sellers are not allowed to leave negative feedback....this is wrong on so many levels but that's their policy which allows buyers to extort a seller.

Rules to live by for sellers:
-ALWAYS use delivery confirmation!
-ALWAYS build insurance into the shipping cost for rare or high dollar items!

In the end if he paid with paypal they would require him to return the item but a lot of scammers are shipping back items that you did not ship them in the first place so be prepared for that as well.
