Ask them to have the items ready for pickup as you will be stopping by their home personally.
This worked for the lady in Tennessee - I had the item in a week. It did not work for the guy up in Canada (guess he figured I'm not coming by for a $12 part).
The fear of having to meet someone in person by having them show up at your door will motivate most people. The problem with internet purchases is that you are simply a computer screen to them - and nobody is scared of a computer screen. Remember - non-threatening email or postal letter.
Good luck -

I like this idea the most but alway seem to have trouble keeping my cool and adhering to the non threatening part when I get screwed over.
Unfortunately, I have been known to cause some rather large scenes in my day.
Depending on the amount, an actual trip to the seller's doorstep might not be a bad idea with a few tatooed bikers in tow.
