he contacted me quickly saying he would send a postal order to pay for the items have just logged into ebay and he is NARU'd. I still havent recieved payment from him.

It's up to you really. You don't have to continue with the transaction if you don't want to, but if the PO arrives and can be cashed personally I would go ahead.

People can get temporarily suspended for all sorts of minor things, usually when this happens I email the buyer and just confirm they still want the item.

We have just had a bank holiday so it may have been delayed in the post (obviously not a good excuse if he claimed to be sending payment at the very start of last week though).

I would imagine that a 100% high rating eBayer would be NARUd for non-payment of fees or some other trivial matter.

NARU'd - what does that mean??

I've just had a similar problem, buyer paid via Paypal for an item which was £5 inc postage. I went to check payment details this morning to post & seen they are No Longer Registered on ebay. They have 160 feedback with 100% so I've sent it anyway.

You should wait at least 7 working days after payment if that is the case as Paypal can reverse the charges and it roughly takes this time to occur

For the sake of £5 I'm not going to wait a week to see if this happens. With 100% feedback I'm being trusting. If it was expensive then maybe I would but not for something this cheap.

Paypal can withdraw payments for several months where a buyer claims fraudulent use. Waiting 7 days isn't going to help at all really and just leaves a seller open to a chargeback for item not received which can be started on day 7.

Where's bleugh when I need him?

I sold an item for £100 to a NARU'd buyer a couple of weeks ago. The transaction was fine. He paid in cash and collected the items from my house.

The only drawback is that there is no feedback and I can't leave it for him either.
