Problem with seller offer

[lildarkshadow1982]

Hi, i accepted a seller offer showing an android tv box with a discounted at around 20 pounds,as soon as i did it popped up 10 items with an amount of just shy of 200 pounds, which i cannot afford. Im not sure if the mistake is on my end or the sellers as i messaged him within ten minutes of the offer and had no answer. After a while i contacted him again explaining financially i couldnt afford this, if he cancelled this i would happily pay for one. Again no answer, i have looked at the seller profile and although i searched uk sellers only he is based in hong kong. 

 

What do i do? And will i be forced to pay for this as it wont let me cancel and im limited on funds due to everything that is going on just now

 

Thanks

If the seller sent you an offer for £200 and you accepted,  then yes,  you have purchased the item,  and should  pay.

The seller has paid an immediate seller fee when you purchased the item.  If you do not pay,  then after 48 hours to retrieve that fee, they'll issue you with a non payment case.

Then,  if you do not pay within 4 days,  the seller closes the case on day 5 and you get a strike on your account.

One unpaid item strike will not do your account  much harm,  but gain another and you will not be able to buy from the majority of sellers on eBay for a full 12 months.
