Bidpay is similar tp Western Union but more secure.

Still prefer Paypal

File a none paying bidder report/final value fee refund and you will get all your expenses returned. It is a pain in the ass as your have to go by eBays timescale.
I had one toolmuncher try the I pay you double the final price and you return balance of funds then send the goods to Umbongoland scam and I contacted eBay direct to voice my concerns and they dealt with it immediately. It turned out the ebay account had been hijacked.

99% of financial dealings with Nigeria on the net are a scam. I lived there for 2 years it is an unbelievable place, people have lost millions there over the years. Failure to pay ebay is a civil case, no law enforcement agency would be interested. We would have to pay bribes almost every day when we worked there, there was even a column for it on our expences sheet ! forget about it you had a lucky escape.
