That's a pretty high ratio. If you stick with it, I think you'll find that the vast majority of transactions are hassle-free.

Best-case scenario: he was chasing this item from multiple sellers and didn't play his cards right. Worst-case scenario: he's just totally hoping you won't pursue the isssue. Either way, he has a problem.

Right now. If not sooner.

There is a process that takes a few days, with the end result that the bidder receives a "non-paying bidder strike." Three strikes is enough to be permanently banned from eBay. The seller can cancel the process if the bidder does, in fact, cough up some money (and this happens more often than you might think).
