Ebay doesn't charge a listing fee for the first 50 items per month. If the buyer never pays you should open an unpaid item claim after three days, then call ebay after four days and have the claim closed in your favor. If more sellers did this the buyers would get filtered out of ebay. In the future you can use buy it now and require immediate payment to prevent this entirely. Verifying the authenticity of commonly faked items does not have an easy solution and I would not buy or sell anything like that on Ebay. Any place that allows the sale of items like this will have tradeoffs.

Some alternatives to Ebay are Ebid, Etsy, Rakuten/buy.com, Amazon, Bonanza(allows cross listing with Ebay), Swappa for phones, uBid, Jet.
