How does Bidpay work?:O
Sounds like a scam to me, tell him you only accept the payments clearly indicated in your auction and unless he pays by one of these then you will have to report him for non payment!

Yea only tri band works in the US.
Paul if you report him as a non payer then you get your listing fees back, also you get the option of selling to next highest bidder if there was one.

Western Union is another one.
Bidpay isnt covered by ebay (As isnt Western Union [another site scammers ask to pay through] either) therefore you have less chance of getting your money back than you would on PayPal.
