All's well that ends well. I had noted last week that a camera I sold had not been paid for or acknowledged although I had a signed receipt of delivery. I wrote him again last night and suggested that he really didn't want to not pay for it and gave him a deadline. Today he answered and said that he had written twice and that today he had sent funds to PayPal as we had agreed. Yes, the money is at PayPal.

So as I learned from UHH comments earlier, the next sale I make will see the money before I ship anything.

Also, my next letter to him would have mentioned that to not pay would have been a fraudulent use of the Postal Service and that the U.S. Government takes a dim view of mail fraud.

Don't mess with old people!

Yup, us Baby Boomers bite whether we have teeth or not.

Sometimes an honest mistake can be made. I recently bought an item from someone here on UHH but the person was patient with me as it took two days to get her PP money. I sent it twice and both times used - rather than _ in her address so she was never receiving payment. Finally I noticed the mistake and all was well.
