So today I had about my 5th or 6th ebay NO PAY in the last couple of years, which is an extremely high percentage (likely 25%+ of my sales on there) considering that I dont sell hardly at all. To make a long story short, I'm selling an extra MIG gun from my shop.
This individual asks all sorts of needy questions about it, once replying an hour after sending his last question demanding to know why I hadnt answered him yet, etc. Then, today the guy buys the thing and then messages me something along the lines of "lol its too short I dont want it" shortly after. Now I'm stuck with ebay charging me sellers fees/commission on the item, which I cant get reversed unless I go through a lengthy process to deal with a "no-pay" which by the way includes practically nothing bad happening to the buyer. In the mean time, I cant relist this item, I still have it, and I'm out all this time and frustration.
I think they need to suck the money out of his account on there personally, he committed to buy it and entered a legally binding contract to do so (per eBay's own policy), its not fair to me to walk away from it at this point. To me, its his and what he does with it is his problem. If he didnt want it, he shouldn't have bought it, but he chose to click "BUY" and then "CONFIRM PURCHASE". If he had been nice and there was an easy way to do so, I probably would've been willing to just cancel the whole sale.
I understand about returns, but I'm not wal-mart, I'm not a large seller who does this professionally, I'm just "surplusing" out a small number of things I dont need anymore. This is the equivalent of going to a yard sale with an "all sales final" sign up, buying something, saying it wont work, and then being a jerk to the man behind the table and then genuinely surprised when he won't give you your few bucks back for the item.
I've decided to dispose of the mig gun (Ive been trying to sell it unsuccessfully for a number of weeks, those BERNARD mig guns are absolutely HORRIBLE tools, I know why I dont want it but I thought some people would like/use them), and cancel my ebay and paypal accounts over this.
Quite frankly, its just not worth my time. I really wish eBay would stand behind their sellers (who make them money, I'll add) and not just allow individuals like this run amuck on their site unchecked. This is far from the first time this has happened to me, and I'm tired of getting the short end of the stick on whats supposed to be a simple and fair process.
Well there's my rant for the day. Theres a lot of wisdom on this board, how would you guys handle this situation? I try to be patient with people and work on forgiveness/moving on but some days its harder than others.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
