If it is in your basked only then you haven't bought it, if seller has it showing as sold and has paid fees then you have not just added it to your basket and have in fact confirmed that you wish to buy it.

I didn't say 'is the item in the basket' I said are you in the basket - meaning have you gone to the basket area? IE, did you click the BASKET icon at the top right of the page and go to the basket (not the item page).

Anyway if the seller is asking you to cancel, then you have 'contracted to buy' and should either pay or accept his cancellation request.
