Default I got backed out from a board member!

I don't know where to post this... so, i am posting it here to ask see what you guys think about and possibily give me a clue what I can do with it.

I posted Tien RA for sale on April. a memeber of this board promised to buy it and will pick it up in Taiwan when he comes here which he claimed he will be here around end of May. therefore, he put $100 for deposite. However, after months waiting, he never complete the transaction. he once contacted me around early June, which the timing is still alright.... then, I have provided him my personal info and agreed to deliver the goods to his sister when I am not busy. and then, he never replied.

Today, when i open up my paypal account, i found this guy reguest for the money back. I am like... what? the purpose of the deposite is to avoid from being backed out. I don't wanna post his name on the board yet cuz I think it might be a mistake from him. However, what if worst thing happens.. what can i do with it?

Give his money back and don't do buisiness with him in the future. I'm sure you have changed your mind about something in the past for whatever reasons. Not too much harm done except broken expectations. Put the items back up for sale and good luck!

I would send him one last email inquiring what went wrong with the sale and why he as opted to go directly thru Paypal instead of you. Yeah we have the right to change our minds but not at the expense of others. Sounds to me that he thinks backing out now and getting his money back is ok. And if you see both side you see he thinks a "no sale" now is ok for both sides and nothing is wrong with you waiting this long to get a NO. There are a lot of no pays, lowballers, scammers, etc out there and S2ki is not immune to them. One thing I do is no dibs for anyone. First to pay up, gets it. No exception; just a suggestion. But my opinion is keep the $100, put your item up for sale again and learn from it.
