I would text him, voicemail him saying you are going to resell it, do so, but be prepared to refund his money of he asks for it. Or is there a way you
can refund him through PayPal ?
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

you can refund or make a payment to easily enough on pp
I'd just refund him and make it clear on the payment it is aas refund for goods uncollected and move on.

as above - Send him a paypal email regarding non collection, refund him & re-list the item
I now always put on the bottom of adverts, full payment & contact please within 4 days of the auction end, if not sling your hook.
He needs neg feedback left on ebay aswell.

I dont think you can leave negative feedback to a buyer anymore.

Send him all the messages you think will get to him, give him 2-3 days to contact you.
If not, refund money and re-advertise.

You need to write to him recorded delivery, give him x number of days to collect if not collected your selling, once sold if it goes for less you will
refund him the difference if it goes for more you will refund him in full, keep a copy of the letter you send him, email is fine but back it up with a
letter.

As a thought, what about all your fees?? I am not sure how long you have to make a refund, and get the fees back from ebay.
It would seem remarkably unfair to you if you lose out.
I would send him an one more email only. Telling him that you will be relisting the engine unless collected before whatever date. I would also say you
are willing to refund the payment he made less an out of pocket expenses.
I don't see how this can be seen as anything but reasonable??
How long can somebody apply for a chargeback?

Personally i'd not refund him, if he wants his money back then he can have some back minus fees and 10% and the difference in resale value.
If you pay for something, then bloody well pick it up. or its your loss.

I had a woman win some sunglasses (about £95 quid irc) and she didn't answer emails etc for extended period. eventually she responded saying she
had been out the country as a relative had died and promptly paid up...
