seller wants to cancel item already paid and received!

Who needs the £12 more? Seeing as they've paid fees on the Paypal payment (which everyone here would have told the seller not to accept) I'd just agree. eBay loses a fiver, so what, who really cares?

And when Ebay put up seller fees for everybody to compensate for the money they lose from people cheating the system...?

eBay fees are just like taxes, they'll squeeze you as much as they can regardless.

Heh, that too, in which case it's even more irritating that some people try to get out of paying their share.

You mean just like eBay do by basing them selves in Luxembourg and not paying tax here.

Or how about only including VAT 15% and thus screwing VAT sellers by basically pocketing that 5% difference which we would otherwise be reclaiming.

Now that point I'll concede.

if you don't like the way ebay conducts itself or the fees it charges then don't use it. If you use their services then you should pay the fees you agree to before you sell. There are other places to sell that don't charge such as gumtree or local facebook selling groups.
If a seller sent me a cancellation request after I'd purchased an item for them I'd cancel without hesitation.
