Because the little twat lived so far away I ended up taking him to court to recover the money (the 70 odd quid involved ended up costing him about £250!)
It was this that stopped me from accepting Paypal.
IMO, I really wouldn't post the phone until the money is in your bank account, if it's something you state in your auction it's hardly your fault the dumb fook can't read.
Those circumstances must have been extreme...I keep my paypal account low to avoid people trying to reclaim money....its never happened...i take the view that Paypal is an online bank account....if he's paid by paypal i'd send the item....thats y people use paypal to ensure a swift process...if he's verified and in the uk i would think it only right to send the item.....i'd be kicking off if you wouldn't send it....
