Again, ebay specifically recommends against instant wire transfers, like Western Union!! Login to ebay under your account name, click on the security center at the bottom of the page, and report that the seller is insisting on a wire transfer if that is the case.

If he will also accept a credit card, then you do have recourse (you can always protest the charge), but I would only pay by credit card on a "secure site." That way he doesn't have access to your card number.

Do not send money by wire, unless you don't care if you lose it.
