I sold an item for $1000 on 9/20 After about 5 days and no payment I wrote the buyer and asked if he needed more time.

He replied yes that he would pay me on the 7th of Oct. That date came and went. He didn't answer my email so I file NPB on the 10th.

On the twelve he wrote saying he still wanted to complete the transaction but needed more time. Today he says he wants to make payments and will have it paid off by the end of the month.

I think he really does want the piece but if I take a payment - how is that going to effect my NPB?

Somehow I see that if he pays $250 today and nothing else after that - he could file item not received and get that money back and I would end up paying the fees for a high price item that I didn't really sell.
Has anyone had something like this happen?

Tell them no deal on the payment plan. Sounds like he may have sold or is attempting to re-sale the item and needs that money to pay you. Kick'em to the curb!

You should file NPB so you can get your fee back.
When he is ready to pay,list it as Buy It Now.

I already filed a NPB.

I called ebay and they advised me not to take the offer of installments.
They actually said I should close the case and block him.

I guess it wasn't meant to be.
