    Ron:

    I'd drop it if under $50, pursue it if over $50.

    Also, I'd strongly consider making the Buy-it-now's require immediate payment in the future. It is the only way to do it, IMHO.

    cancel the transaction and relist it, I'm pretty sure that if the transaction was cancelled by mutual agreement there are no relisting fees.
    Sounds like an honest mistake.

    Well, they haven't paid for it and you haven't shipped it so I don't see why you wouldn't let the guy off the hook if he's willing to pay your fees. Just list it again and sell it to someone who wants it.

    Sounds like an honest mistake to me.

    Should never refer to your family as ignorant, though.

    He's just saying they don't know much about baseball.

    When a transaction is cancelled by mutual agreement,
    ONLY the final-value fees are refunded; NOT the listing
    fees.

    Since EBAY has been invaded by banditos and idiotos,
    the immediate-payment-required feature has become
    much more popular among sellers. However, that feature
    does deter multiple purchases; I usually only use it on
    expensive items.

    I'd say let him pay your fees, and then relist the item.
