It's stories like this that makes me glad that I've decided to stay away from eBay. I'm sure there are tons of legit buyers and sellers and that the OP simply got snagged by one of the crappy ones... but it's usually not worth the risk. I'm fine with buying a cheap $2 cable from China 'cause if it doesn't show up, it's not a big deal. But I'm done with dealing items over a $50 or so. Just not worth it anymore. Besides, there are usually people locally that would want whatever you're selling anyway. So much less hassle, even when you have to deal with all the lowball emails.
