Seems a bit petty if you ask me. I could Not personally be bothered.
But I do understand the sense of frustration due to a lot of very selfish inward people using eBay.
Like everywhere you do get clowns, and they are annoying.
On this occasion I can’t see any solution other than let this one go and move on to the next one.

Is everything okay at home?
I'm sure you'd have your Lamborghini by now if it wasn't for those pesky ebay cancellations.

Petty, vindictive and nasty. Grow up and move on.
My ignore list has just doubled in size.

There was more to it than that, he tried to make a derisory offer for less than the item ended up selling for, which completely contradicted his own story, if he had changed his mind then why start trying to negotiate below the market value? "Chancer" comes to mind.
No I'm not a business.

Some of the comments on here are golden. 
Seriously Op life is too short, move on.

People will try it on to save some money. Doesn't mean they deserve to have their credit rating nerfed. You have to accept that you'll come across messers and chancers on eBay.

His story makes zero difference to his decision, he cancelled anyway. You just need to set a reserve that you want to sell for minimum. What he offered first isn’t a water line for which the market is willing to pay, it merely is/was what he was willing to pay which he backed out and he got the appropriate punishment for it within the rules of eBay, Terms and Conditions which both parties signed up for when they signed up for an account. You would have to prove to the court of your loss, your loss isn’t what he won the auction by, if it is the same auction that he pulled out of. This is clear in black and white that your loss is some form of emotional trauma to your pride, good luck proving that as a material loss to the court.
The entire thing is petty and has nothing to do with recovering your losses, you just want to hurt him…which by the way, will get the case thrown out because the doctrine of promissory estoppe is that it a Shield; Not a Sword.

Nor does he have to, there is plenty of room for negotiation before initiating court proceedings.
People seem to be under the wrong impression here. If a judgement is made and the defendant pays there is no impact on credit rating. The persons credit rating is only damaged if they fail to comply with the courts directions.

I think the contemptible individual here is the one trying to "destroy" someone's credit rating over an eBay sale.At least this isn't your typical "is this a scam" ebay thread, so points for originality I guess.

How is this the wrong impression?
Come on, you've clearly had your toes stood on by someone, jump around a bit, shake it off, and get on with your life. This petty nastiness is going to turn you in to one hell of a nasty person eventually.
That's because you don't understand how the county court system operates, financial disputes get settled and only if the person acts like a total ass does a CCJ get issued and only then if they fail to comply with it does it affect their credit rating.
I have used ebay for over 10 years and people have cancelled for various reasons such as financial issues which I'm fine with, people have cancelled for less legitimate reasons but we have come to reasonable agreements. But never before has someone cancelled because they decided to buy a different product, caused a significant financial loss and then tried to profit from the situation before. All reasonable attempts at settling this have been ignored.

@Energize Please tell us what the item was.
And also you ebay name so we can steer well clear of any of your listings.
Thanks

You still have the item, there is no loss to you.
That's the way the Court will see it as. If you decide to sell it at a lower price later on, that's also your decision too.
