Michael just told me that eBay wouldn't ding either your nor Michael's accounts Michael said he once ran into a situation where he won a bid but then had an unexpected situation where he had to delay payment a little bit. He communicated that with the seller and the seller had no problem with it. He says method and speed of payment are between the buyer and the seller and stays out of it so long as the seller pays the seller fee.

So, of course, this is up to you, if you believe I will make good on payment within a couple to three weeks. :o) Let me know, as well as if you find out anything further, too.
