Anyway, what say the eBay gurus here? Shel ======== You requested a specific type of payment, he didn't comply, so you can cancel the transaction. I've taken Western Union in the past but it's a major PITA for me, because there isn't really a local, local office to cash it. I have to travel quite a bit to cash it. (But note that I accepted them mainly from foreign buyers because that is what they could send. In fact, now I won't sell international because the Western Union thing came up too often.) So ebay won't accept a fraud report based on the fact you won't accept Western Union. They can check what kind of payment you requested. If he does manage to leave any negative report or any kind of negative feedback contact ebay and tell them the situation and they will remove it. Once I bought something where the seller said he'd accept PayPal and PayPal only, then after the sale he said he only wanted Western Union (he didn't want to give PayPal a cut after all). I wouldn't pay (the travel/distance thing again), and he filed a fraud report (or whatever it was called, a buyer nonpayment report) with ebay. I wrote and explained to them that he had changed the condition of the sale after the auction had closed. They removed his complaint from my ebay name. Ebay is pretty good about that sort of thing.
