Be prepared to accept a NPB strike. Alternatively pay for it and sell it on yourself0

Yes, give me your id so I can block you.0

Yes, you need to pay for it & complete the transaction as you agreed to when you bid. Easy.0

its not something i do routinely ,i believe the buyer/seller can agree to cancell the sale and the seller can offer as second chance offer . i have emailed seller 3 times now without a response so i assume there will be a npb case opened .some you win some you loose !This is a system account and does not represent a real person.

Well you obviously won it, so why not pay for it!0 -
You can't blame the seller. So many people ask for cancellations and don't follow the cancellation request through, so the seller gets stuck with the fees. The only sure way to get the fees is to NPB. It will certainly make you think twice about bidding next time. Another strike and you will be stuck.0

They can do a mutual but many of us refuse to do them and do a full NPB instead. A single nPB won't hurt you but get another and you'll find yourself effectively blocked from bidding on auctions as many people block non payers.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Personally I would just pay for the item & then resell it. As stated above you get 2 NPB strikes & that will put a stop to you bidding on a lot of things.
Your call ultimately, as a seller I do get narked with timewasters.0
