I can't see why people feel the need to rip people off, that said its too easy to do if you wanted to but it does have a effect on the innocent honest people who sell a few bits from time to time.
We sell all sorts and I deal with a few foreign customers who happily send money over without seeing the parts for months as they go in a container, the thing is if it was me I'd be seriously pissed off but what goes around comes around so I'd imagine he will get fucked over just like this user has at some point if he treats people like that.
