As mentioned send a invoice and that then starts a timer for you, Generally ebays rule is 7 days but you can open a NPB dispute much sooner, thats up to you at what point, personally I wait a max of 3 days without contact, then a further 4 days close the case, add the buyer to your banned bidder list (essential) and either offer a second chance or relist, You must use the tools ebay provide you with to ensure you get your fee's back, the item gets back for sale asap and the buyer gets a strike that will eventually stop them doing this to others, Of course they may just be away for the weekend and they'll find they've won and pay you

Biggest advice though is to send it SPECIAL DELIVERY no other service should be used..

please be aware of the nigerian scammers, they may send an email to say please can i pay by western bank and can you send it to my family member in another country, and can you send it before payment cleared.  More info re this can be found on Ebay discussion forum, put Nigerian phone scam as a search title.  Not to say that this will happen, but phones are the most items that these scammers target.
