    I'd be tempted to refund minus the postage & send a message explaining why. Submit a cancellation request. Leave it a few weeks to see if there's a response and then re-list.
  • The first thing you need to do is to refund the buyer who did not collect the item. You cant keep the money they paid.

    Then you can relist it because it belongs to you again.

    Yes - refund the entire amount - you can recoup losses on fees and postage via the sale of the item.
