Dawdler #1: I purchase an X-Box off a guy on ebay. He has zero feedback, and joined just a few weeks ago. My mistake, but the deal was too good to pass up. I have contacted him twice.

Yes, You said you would pay $137.50, so I will pay shipping and
handling
which will probably be around $12.00.

This is all he sent me. No payment address, or paypal address, nothing. I realize I can get this information off his profile (maybe), but i've had cases in the past where they want things sent to a certain address.

He wins one of my auctions, and does not contact me for 3 days. I email him. This is his response:
-----
My paypal account screwed up and I had to reset it.
I did this 2 days ago and I'm waiting for their 2 deposits in my
accounty to confirm the setup. I will pay you through the paypal system once
I'm able, which should be in a couple of days. Is this ok? Also, what
size is the jersey?
-----
Its been a couple of days, no emails, no nothing. I also despise when they ask questions like "what size is it?" when its clearly stated in the auction.

He says he is sending payment. He says nothing about wanting to know my address (which is included in my profile, and in payment options).
Yesterday, I get this back:

Dear Sir,
I was unable to get a response from my first email, Please tell me your information, so that i will be able to send a money order in the total of $ 45.00, and can you send the following item to:

Ok, weak rant, but I hate ebayers. I'd sell on FS/FT but you don't get as much money, and I do not accept the "ship first get money later" philosophy. Especially when people say "oh you need at least 50 heat before I will trust you" or "ebay evals mean nothing to me", especially when I can prove that my ebay evals (61 over 3 years, buying and selling) are mine.
EDIT: Changed the title. I realize that this is not-so-mini.
