Why are you torn? The bidder won the auction based on the parameters you put forth. You should send the card. Most of my auctions at least start at the money I have into the item. That way I never lose money.
I am AGHAST that a winning bidder would pay immediately!!! How dare he!

WOW - I'm just glad I didn't have any snipes set this week.
Been using a couple different free services for 10-15 years now - never once had a snipe not go through. I've come to rely on them and never doubted the reliability.
