What can i do. I have already emailed them to say that when a bid is placed it is legally binding and they cant just simply change there mind but i have had no response. I had a lot of bidding on the item and would like to do a second chance offer. Can i just go ahead and do this?

After 4 days, Report non payment, close after another 4 days, buyer gets a strike, you get your fees back, You can then relist. Or offer a SCO,

 

You need to sort this buyer out before you try to sell it again..

 

Don't offer them a cancellation...

Open an unpaid item dispute after 4 days on non-payment and close it after a further 4 days if they still haven't paid.

 

They will get a strike on their account and you will get your selling fees back and can relist if you wish.

 

The non-payer will not be able to leave you any feedback once the dispute has closed,

Hi  tazthai,

 

Very good advice above however you have now opened the way to serious damage being done to your account by leaving this buyer a false positive which is a policy violation.

 

The false positive will be removed if reported and a violation put on your account. If the buyer does pay this could guarantee bad feedback from them including low DSR.

 

Never ever leave feedback for a non-payer.
