you should ask the seller first. Usually if you don't pay, seller could notify you to eBay as a non paying bidder. You get 2 warnings and on the 3rd warning, you will be suspended.

NEVER pay cash for e-Bay auctions. Number one, you are not supposed to send cash through the postal system. Secondly, you have no proof that the payment was made if the seller decides not to send the item. I have sent cash before when I first started on e-Bay and never got screwed but always protect yourself by using a service such as Paypal (as much as I hate the company they do protect the buyer). Money orders aren't much better either.

Not a good thing - especially if you're buying ANYTHING over the Internet (make a note of that, we'll quiz you later...)

This was problem #1. WaarrEagle said it best, "NEVER pay cash for e-Bay auctions...."

Now, IF on the off-chance, this seller said, "hey, you didn't send me JACK DIDDLY SQUAT, what have you to fall back on?? You'd be screwed out of you money AND your product.

Trust me, bro... this is DEFINATELY not a laughing matter. But to make light of this situation, you can equate Ebay to having sex in a foreign country - you can't just go jumping in there '*****-nilly'!! You gotta protect yourself, or you run the very REAL risk of getting burned BIG TIME!

Food for thought - now go do the dishes....

be careful, Hopefully the buyer will understand but you will get a either a neg or neutral feedback which isn't going to look good. YOu need to pay attention to the descrip unless it was the seller's mistake on his part.
