Buyer changing terms after auction finished

Yesterday I sold an item on ebay and in the listing I mentioned postage costs and the method I was going to post the item. Now after selling the item, the buyer is refusing to send money unless I change the postage method. What can i do as their wanted method is more than i will be paid for postage. Surely they should have seen from the listing what I was offering and just not bidded?

Send them a paypal invoice for the extra charges, if they do not agree tell them you will be filing a claim for a non paying bidder and it won't be through mutual agreement, then Neg them whilst you still can

That's what I would do. They want a different method, you change the charges.0 -

Just wait 'til May, more and more buyers will be trying this trick, as there is nothing a seller can do about it....
Is this really "consumer revenge" or "commercial sabotage"?<--- Nothing to see here - move along --->0 -
If they want a more expensive postage method, say yes, but as long as they pay the extra.My TV is broken!

Edit: refunded £515 for TV 1.5 years out of warranty - thank you Sale of Goods Act! :j0
