There's nothing binding about ANY ebay auction... whether it be a car or a pair of socks. I've had numerous auctions where someone hit the buy it now button and never paid or answered messages. Nothing sinister ever happens to a deadbeat bidder. As the seller, you then have to jump through ebay hoops and play their waiting game in order to get the fees back that they charge you BEFORE a transaction is completed with payment. On top of that, the buyer can leave you negative feedback but you can't leave negative for a buyer. I used to think it was fun to sell on eBay...not so much any more. While ebay is still the best place to get your item in front of the most viewers, it can certainly be a PIA!
