Where is the success story?
yup. that, in my opinion, is what his plan was all along and thought he was going to get support for it. quite telling that was his sole response to the post of mine he quoted. a total and utter scrub action if you ask me. he'll probably reply saying 'but but you're wrong, i'm trying to sort out postage now - you're all wrong, i'm right....waaa waaa waaa'

i told him collection only.
he said postage is fine. refused to listen to me or my advice. he kept repeating i can go to supermarket and get a box and stopped me mid sentance after i tried to explain to him the weight is the real issue several times.
basically this guy won't take any advice. he wants it done this way. he also thought my initial quote of £40 for postage was steep. he asked me to check so i did on my hermes and it came back as £15 but that was for 15kg and they won't do 25kg plus. luckily parcelforce does it for a tenner now I've had time to check other sites.
usually in those cases the second highest bidder re-negotiates as he then thinks the highest bidder was me bidding it up but i ended up winning it so now i'm going to second highest which is then going to him and making him pay more than he would have had there not been this other bidder which he thinks is second account. hope that makes sense.
i've tried that before and it never went well in the past. so i was going to re-list but this guy did initially say he would collect. then on the day of collection he said he would be here for 6pm (5 hour drive), then he never turned up next day said he would now need it posted. he had already wasted several days by saying he would collect then pulling out.
also this guy cut me off mid sentance several times. wouldn't take any of my advice on board. he asked if i was bangladeshi. after trying to be courteous throughout i finally decided you know what this guy deserves whatever should happen. because he will not learn otherwise.
so which is why now the options available are:
post - likely get smashed up - so be it. he deserves it. I've spoken to him on the phone several times and I can confidently say he deserves what happens.
or partial refund - for all the time and inconvenience. i could have course keep all the money. and take the additional £30 as storage costs allowing for 1 month for him to collect. after which i will then be forced to remove them from my property or take them as payment for future storage costs if he hasn't collected within 1 month.
i evaluated all of the above and thought the 2 options in OP would be best.
this guy is typical of the standard of ebay buyers these days. i've had previous issues with people who don't speak english well demanding i give them a discount for something i didn't advertise in the sale in the first place.

Go through his history on here, he's well known to be a certain kind of person, the description of which is in his very own thread title

I see no success story here

This, duh? You don't have the right to keep the 40 quid, it isn't yours.
I guess you could just keep the whole 70 quid and list it again but thats a douchebag move.
Why didn't you mention this in the OP?! This is full justification for your plan to steal £40.
oh i know more than enough about him already!Go through his history on here, he's well known to be a certain kind of person, the description of which is in his very own thread title

not steal is it when I've spent time listing it. Spent time waiting for him on my day off to then not turn up. Not send me any messages saying he couldn't make it.
He also supposedly was in a car crash he wanted me to add him on facebook so he could show me proof of the car crash.
He was asking quite crazy stuff like the above. Luckily I don't have facebook then he started asking for my wife to add him I was like yeah right.
No doubt had this guy crashed into one of you. You would realise what I am dealing with here.
Would be a real shame if someone screenshotted this whole thread and sent it to ebay together with your ebay username, explaining how you "used to" inflate prices and how you're trying to stiff one of their customers to "teach them a lesson".
Hmmm the reason why he's not listening to you as you seem to be listening to him jumping through all the hoops as you've pretty much gone through all the motions of sending the item. The amusing thing is that you think you're playing him. 
Also why do people take it upon themselves to be judge and executioner with stupid **** like this, just refund the dude and block him.

where did i say i inflated prices?
i said someone accused me of that last time i tired to sell to second highest bidder. and said the person that won must have been my second account.
so you are wrong
oh no dear boy, it is you that is wrong and in oh so many ways!
yes it is stealing. you aren't getting paid for your time, you're getting paid for the item. you may well factor your time into the price you ask but that is largely irrelevant. this guy takes you to the small claims court and your argument that you were simply 'billing' him for your time would be an interesting defence.
