    Nope. You're the seller, you just cancel it. They will get an email from ebay to advise them of the cancellation but by then you'll have them blocked anyway and they shouldn't be able to contact you again after that.
    Thank you. another question for you if u don't mind, I seem to be having so many time wasters lately and have had to open 4/5 NPB's I had an item end Monday, not a cheap item, buyer has 3 feedback, no payment yet so have opened a NPB, if the buyer doesn't pay do I have to wait the 4 days to close the case and offer it to someone else as I had a few bids on it?

    Yes, you must wait the 4 days before offering it to someone else otherwise you *could* end up in a situation where your NPB suddenly pays before the 4 days are up so you have 2 people able to leave feedback and DSRs but only 1 item.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Thank you, just gone on to cancel and she has beat me to it. O well least that goes on her account now and saved me the job.
    Hoping this one pays, I seem to be attracting lots of time wasters lately, never had so much trouble. Frustrating!

    I would still block her though.

    He tried making a best offer for my item. Rejected and duly blocked him, before he tried to pay full price - which he did.

    Got a long email about his perfect feedback - and i must have made an error blah blah blah.

    Wish Ebay would remove them. Its not rocket science.
