    Yes

    No correspondance or anything. Reported them to eBay. Nothing came of it. eBay customer service and buyer/seller protection leaves a LOT to be desired unfortunately.

    There could be truth in the buyer not knowing anything about it though. I've had my account hacked into before. Luckily, the French prankster only used it to spam other members and didn't buy anything. For weeks I had replies back in several languages, telling me to f#*k off. Charming.

    Contact them directly, they may still take it off you and report an unpaid item to get your fees back.

    yes mate, i have.

    technically he is bound to the contract. but it would be a pain to enforce it. and you are under a duty to mitigate your loss too. so your loss we occur when you resold and the subsequent difference plus any costs you have had to suffer as a result of his breach of contract.

    practically you can report to ebay to go through unpaid item process and get your fees back.

    To guard against loss generally dont accept bids from people with less than 10 feedback of 98 - 100%

    E-bay should ban all deals with African countries. they are scammers and time wasters.
