If the seller wants to cancel the item then there is not a lot you can do about it really. He has even offered to let you collect it so it's not like he's trying to scam you. To be honest if I was the seller and you were demanding I send it for £4 I'd just let you file a report. ****e with the hassle.

If you were the seller why would you list it at that price in the first place if you werent going to accept the winning bid?
You make it sound like collecting from Wigan via London is a reasonable offer, ha.
Again, not my fault they listed the postage costs. Another retailer has the same bag at a delivery cost of £5.95 delivered. Still not sure where they've also plucked it from.

Same.
But if you really know its a bargain, and he's made a genuine mistake - then splitting the difference might appease both of you.
You get your bargain, he doesn't have the hassle of relisting.
I wouldn't. I'd make sure the postage covered it. Then again I don't bother selling day to day items on ebay anymore because of the hassle.
If you undercharge you end up with chumps demanding you post it, if you over charge you end up with neg feedback for "profiting" on the P&P.
Listed my old car last week and the winner was someone with zero feedback who had only just registered that eBay account the same day, and to top it off made no contact or intent in buying the car. Ebay won't give me the buyers address so I can file a small claims through MoneyClaim. So much for all this legally binding nonsense.

Small claims for what?
No doubt, most 'chumps' probably wouldn't bother wasting time going to court over £8 or whatever.
You get my listing fees back. Yes eBay will refund the final value fees but not the listing fees. In case you haven't noticed it isn't free to list on eBay Motors.
Lol @ blame culture / demand compo
That's called time wasting and it happens.
People on Gumtree agree to buy, but change their mind
People agree to buy through newspaper adverts, but son't turn up
People agree to come round and have a look at your car, but don't turn up
People on the MM , do the same sometimes.
The list is endless.........
If you changed your mind on a product you bought you would expect to cancel the purchase without the company then pursuing you through a small claims court .
Get a grip

Ive never sold a car on ebay so I wouldn't know but a quick google suggests its between £10 - £15 but final value fees are 1% if you list it as a classified ad or zero on auction and buy it now. Only going by this so no idea if true

LOL at the "legally binding contract" talk. Seller has a number of ways he can back out of the sale.
"I've damaged it since you bought it, sorry. I'll refund you."
Technically, and legally, absolutely nothing you can do about that if he/she plays that game.

There was no second bidder. It was a BIN.
That's exactly what I'm getting at. Folk harp on about eBay being legally binding and that the guy with the bag HAS to send it no matter what.
End of the day no one has to do what they don't want to do and there is not a lot you can do about it.
Send half now and the other when you can afford the postage...
