These things happen unfortunately. Buyer buys, but then doesn't turn up to collect and pay.

BTW , PLEASE tell me this buyer did not take the car without paying you first, you simply had a non payer!🤔

No, they have not collected this car yet, but I’m just trying to figure out
what to do from here as I do not want to pay for another listing again. I
haven’t got a clue how this works.

Listing fees are non refundable, so payable sale or no sale, and if you relist you pay those listing fees again.

It's the same if you listed your car in your local paper, and it didn't sell, the paper would not refund you your advertising fees.

I haven't checked, but if you have not used the Classified ad format, do this when relisting, most will agree it's the best way to sell a car on eBay.

Buyers are allowed 4 complete days to pay before you can open a Non Payment case ---listing fees are not refunded but you can recover any FVFs by opening an Unpaid case for non payment after 4 days and give timewasters a well deserved account defect/strike --- not shown but is effective in stopping/blocking persistent Non Payers >
