I sold the stock springs for some 2 bucks on ebay (off my audi a4). Anyway i got this email:

sup malik...man thats my nephew's name too..r u
muslim..just curious the name sound familiar..but any
ways, yea m just waiting for u to send me the springs
so i can do the payments..u can probably send it thru
either DHL or UPS which ever is faster...how soon can
u send them...if u have any questions...

Am i readin this right? He wants me to send him the springs and then he's gonna pay me?

Yeah, sounds like he's asking you to ship first.

You sold them for $2? It's not even worth the effort to drive them to the post office at that price.

That's what he's saying... Inform him that that's not how ebay works. Inform him that if he does not pay, you'll report him as a deadbeat buyer.

That's what it sounds like.

He's a moron.

thats STILL not worth $2
cripes I value my time a little more than that
I refuse to sell anything on ebay unless I can get $20 net from it

Oh and yeah, just tell him to pay first and then you ship
