Sending a cheque for more than yhd amount and asking for the difference is a standard scam. As others have mentioned the cheque initially clears but then a number of weeks later it is found to be fake & the monies are removed. You are then minus your wing and the total cash.
If he wants the wing then bank transfer or no wing is my suggestion.

-- The clue is in the overpayment. It is not the wing they want but cash. The only way to get you to send or handover money is to 'overpay'. This creates a transfer from you to the fraudster (for expenses or any other of a range of bogus reasons.) Everything else is just 'noise' around that single goal.
Inform the police. They may be able to set up a meeting and catch them.

Don't ask me how this works but I have friend who sold a car and two months later it was found that the cheque was fraudulently obtained and they took the money from him and he had also lost his car. Go back to the guy and tell him he can send you the money by PayPal, that will send him running..

> I've had my 'A' wing advertised on skyads. I had a foriegn chap who's English read like spam mail contact me, but he seemed intrested and wanted to pay by cheque, no worries I thaught, wings going no where till it clears. I kept asking for a name and address, but he didn't even sign his emails (marcus.morgan@yahoo is all I got). He said he would overpay to cover postage, and could I refund the diff' when his agent comes to collect the wing. ??? His cheque came today, in € when I asked for £, and for over x3 what I was asking. Needless to say I didn't put the cheque in. Is it worth reporting and to whom?
