Frank WakefieldDo or don't do the agreement, but don't modify it... no keeping 20%, no charging an extra 1.5%. Your original agreement didn't contemplate any of that.
By now, if you've received all of the money, either send the item or refund all of the money. If you've not received all of the money, send what you've received back.
Nonsense to the idea of change of value over time affecting what you do. Value does change over time, and the original deal contemplated payment over time. So learn from that, and next time add or subtract change of value in the original deal, but not after the deal's gone bad.
If what he's paid so far is not full payment and you send it back, then if the 'rest' of the payment appears, send that back, too.
Hmmmm... what if the folks who responded to your thread charge you a 5% consulting fee. Now where did that come from? It wasn't part of any original agreement when you posted, was it? See, don't change the deal, just do it or don't.
