Wow... that bad buyer information list is great! He is literally a few minutes either way down the road from me. Is there anything I can do to help here Ed?
I was going to say it definitely sounds like a scamming buyer rather than a misgiving in the shipping. I've had an entire demilled M1 Carbine sent to me without hassle. There's really no trouble if you're doing the right thing (which really... a magazine is just a pressed/extruded piece of metal bar).
I've definitely found selling on eBay is MUCH riskier than buying for the above stated reasons... they ALWAYS seem to favour the buyer. I've been put out 280US by a Belgian buyer who did the same thing. Claiming he never received.
I fought it tooth and nail with post receipts and the lot, and they still decided in his favour. Luckily I had removed half that amount from my account into the bank, and they took the other half. So I half give an item away, foot the bills for listing and he gets it all for nothing. It's a stupid system.
