What's the "normal" wait time? I sold my board and bindings on ebay on Sunday night to a guy with 0 feedback and I have not received payment not heard from him. Did I just get F'ed?

Well first you should list in your item description how fast you expect payments. I would wait a week at max.

And if he doesn't pay just force the chargeback. E-Bay usually gives you the money back if you go through the non-paying bidder process which is kind of a pain (have to wait for an e-mail and stuff)...

Hope it helps )

Wait 7 days then open a dispute. After 7 days he'll either pay or you'll get all your fees back...

LAKERS SUCK, CLIPPERS RULE!!!

Is this a user who's from a different country?
Did they send you an email IN ALL CAPS AND POOR ENLGISH saying that it's a birthday present and you need to send it first?

I noticed a lot of time people do not contact you when they are sending a money order

Those idiots did it twice to me. Same email but different ebay account. I know about the Nigeria scammers so I just ignore them.

did u ever read about the counterscam someone did? Basically he sold a $1500 laptop, and forced the guy to pay $600 in duties on it.

Turns out...the laptop was just a 3 ring binder with "p-p-p-powerbook" written on it. The dickhead never paid the $1500 (of course) and his fake escrow service he pulled down shortly thereafter. He was forced to pay the $600 duty and it was sweet.
