You guys shouldn't give him a hard time if you don't know what your talkin about or have paypal experience. There is something called an e-check that does take sometimes a week or more to clear. So is shows up in paypal as pending and that means the money is not actually deposited in your paypal account until it clears from the other guys bank account. Therefore why should you ship something that may not go through and you don't get payment for? That sounds like a pretty smart idea...
