    Be thankful that they didn't respond to the NPB case. If they had, then they could of left you feedback and still not paid.
    No they cant.
    A seller can not get any feedback from a buyer who has not paid. If it is left at all, it can be removed.

    and you cant ask for mutual cancellation once a NPB has been opened. Why would anyone do that anyway? They can still leave you neg feedback with a cancellation.
  • I decided to go through with the NPB in the end and I'm glad now that I did.

    He bought a second Scalextric car at the same time as mine. I just noticed on My Ebay that his feedback had increased so I had a look and he has left and received feedback on the other car!! So much for not having the track to use mine.

    I'm glad you did. If he bought something then changed his mind, I'd say that is his tough luck. I've bought stuff before and then found a better deal. It's just life isn't it.
    I'm never offended by debate & opinions. As a wise man called Voltaire once said, "I disagree with what you say, but will defend until death your right to say it."

    I will add though that if I do decide to let him off the NPB, I shall cancel it via mutual request after his offer to pay the fees.

    No-one has picked up on this but a mutual cancellation gets you those fees back, so there is no need for him to do this.

    If the buyer is co-operating and happy to cancel, and offered that gesture, then I would do a mutual but obviously the discussion has moved on past this now. I wouldn't personally punish someone for making that kind offer - it has happened to me in the past and I let them do a mutual, which they agreed to. People who are happy with the outcome very rarely leave poor feedback as a result.
