I feel ya.
The last big thing we sold on eBay was a real fancy double stroller. We
ended up selling it for $500ish and shipped it from Alabama to California.
Despite excellent photo documentation, the buyer claimed that there was a
big mark that wasn't there (and provided no photos to prove it), changed
their story several times for the reason for their displeasure, tried all
manner to get us to accept a return (even though the listing clearly stated
no returns would be accepted). They finally opened up a dispute and sat on
it until the 30 day expiration. All the while our funds were tied up in
limbo.
Thankfully that ended in our favor though, but it was aggravating that we
had to go through it and didn't have use of the money for a whole month.

Hi
I am having a rather unpleasant experience with this buyer. He bought an
item from me, but did not pay for two weeks, five days after I opened an
unpaid item report. Looking at his feedback, this is apparently common for
him. In addition, the person is asking me for special shipping
considerations after he paid. Since ebay's feedback system is so heavily
weighted toward the buyer, this will not end well.
Just so you know...
