As for the spammers, I recommend requiring immediate payment with BIN.
It may work in your favor if you can send the runner up a second chance offer at BIN price? Let Ebay know right away, and they will refund your auction fee and cancel his account.

The scammer wants to send a bogus payment in the form of a check or in this case a bogus cashiers check, they also tend to be very generous adding an unusually high amount "for your trouble" and all they ask is that you return an amount that you feel is reasonable to them.
In other words I agree to buy your snipe for 500 dollars but I am going to send you a check for a thousand dollars and ask that you take care of the snipe packaging and shipping and in return for doing that you keep whatever you think your time and effort was worth,
So you deposit my hot check and then turn around and send me 3 or 4 hundred dollars or whatever, thinking that you really screwed me over when in fact I know my check wont clear and I just in fact screwed you.
I am guessing that the cashiers check would work the same way.
