We had exchanged a few messages I had decided to pull the trigger and gave him the shipping address. He asked if he could expect payment as soon as he figured shipping and I said "Definitely." He then "permanently left the conversation" and has apparently put me on "ignore" since that happened with a subsequent message I had later sent. I don't know why he decided to ghost me when I was about to give him over a thousand bucks but yeah, back to eBay.
