MWJay --
The "Wagner" auction ends on November 29. The earliest possibility for billing would be if the seller's billing cycle date occurred at the end of the month -- November 30. If this were the case, and the seller had his checking account debited, it would happen on December 20. If a credit card were on file, it would be charged sometime between December 7 and December 15 (probably closer to December 15).

I guess it might be possible to send payment so that it would be received at such a date where it could still be "reversed" or "canceled" after an early eBay billing date (i.e., December 7), but the odds of timing everything perfectly so that the seller would be charged before the buyer, are rather small. (keep in mind that the billing cycles outlined above are the earliest possibilities -- the billing cycle might actually occur weeks later).
