Is there anything i can do, perhaps get a refund on eBay's aftersale charges? What would you guys do, leave bad feed, or not bother?

What about a bank transfer? Would your Dad be willing to transfer the money that way?
Regards,

Don't bother, because chances are they'll tarnish your own feedback with -ve feedback.

That depends, are you willing to risk a negative on your feedback? If so, you should leave feedback. If not, the limit to leave feedback is 60 days IIRC, so just wait 59 days, 23 hours and 59 minutes before leaving feedback and he can't leave any for you?

The thing is the auction showed bank transfer and cheque ONLY, yet his dad only accepts Paypal. What the!

So is there some sort of eBay refund on unsold products?

I think you can send a "second chance offer" to the next highest bidder, then you wont lose your money.

If eBay find he hasn't paid then if he puts a negative on your account then it won't count.

And his attitude seems very blase. He's decided not to proceed? Erm.....what? Does he actually know what eBay is?

Great, sound advice guys. Love y'all.

Tell him to send a postal order....then neg him when he refuses.

Write him a polite but firm e-mail pointing out that a legal agreement exists between you, which he agreed to when he signed up for ebay, and that you both need to agree to do so in order not to proceed with the deal. Even better, send him a link to the section of ebays T&C that tells him that.

And finish with something like "I look forward to receiving your payment within 7 days." Not getting insulting or threatening, but telliing him exactly where he stands.
