This kind of thing stinks and get every buyer thinking OMG what if this happens to me. The only thing I have learned about any net deals is to ask folks if they have ever sold on ebay or another forum where folks leave feedback.
I use my stupid screen name for a lot of other sites so even though I don't have buying/selling feedback here I can at least point someone to another site where I have bought/sold so they can read the feedback there, They also see a few other sites where they can blast me if I try to screw them over. I even ask some of the folks if I can use them as references in the future to at least help someone who has to trust me just being some internet fool. Again they are also all random emails from different folks but whatever helps.
I also usually ask for folks phone # to so I can talk with them about the deal. At the very least they know if they screw me I will be constantly calling and screaming at them. I think offering my cell# right off the bat lets folks know Im not looking to screw them over.
Feel bad for Wayne here but there is one bright side...it was on $30. Luckily you didnt drop a bunch of $$$ on an item from him.
