I've only sold two items on Ebay (I've bought a lot, though), so I'm

really
surprised (and saddened) to report that I've run into an avionics buyer

who
simply won't pay for the item he won.

I listed our old Narco AT 50 transponder (which, BTW, we replaced with a
Garmin GTX-327 -- a truly great unit), and my winner bid $285 for it.

That was over three weeks ago, and when pressed about the status of his
payment, the guy only responded with one sentence emails promising to

"look
into it."

I finally gave him a 24 hour deadline, which he missed, and have re-listed
the transponder for sale.

This is a first for me -- all of my other transactions have been easy and
painless.

Have I just been lucky? Anyone else run into this on Ebay?
