    5 times, good grief, you think that is normal?

    I have no idea. However, at an average of one item per every two years I don't think it is excessive.

    Even your user name is the wrong way round, the saying is doom and gloom not gloom and doom, did you commit to that before you thought about it :rotfl:

    You could change it to 'tobuyornottobuy'

    I do about the same as well. However I change my mind before I press the Buy it Now button, that way it saves on wasting everyones time:D

    it would be good to have an adult discussion on this topic.
    I guess some people cannot win even a fairly straight forward argument as this one without resorting to name calling and personal attacks.

    When you click the BUY IT NOW option it clearly states....

    You're agreeing to a contract -- You will enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller. You're responsible for reading the full item listing, including the seller's instructions and accepted payment methods.

    DSR law states:

    ...the effect of a notice of cancellation is that the contract shall be treated as if it had not been made.

    The above quote suggests to me a seller cannot request payment once cancelled.

    You can check if this quote is in context or not from the link below.

    I must admit that once the silly name calling started from those with a different point of view to me, as well as the inference that I must be an !!!!!!, I suspected that my case might have some merit. :)

    eBay certainly did. After considering my appeal, they have wiped my slate clean.

    Thanks for the helpful responses.
