I agree... I have been selling and buying on eBay for 5 years... I have never had someone buy and not pay.... I have never paid for something that never arrived.
Check the sellers feedback rating (it is the number to the right of their user name) click on it and it will show you the comments people have posted about them. If you feel comfortable - then go for it.... if they have negative remarks - think twice.
eBay is fun =)
