Seller refuses to cancel a transaction

[shininglight22]

My seller has refused to cancel an order l have placed in error, l have ordered something thats the wrong size.
I sent an offer and 5 minutes later,as soon as l had paid, l messaged the seller to apologise and ask for my order to be cancelled. The seller has refused saying they have already booked and paid for a courier, yet the listing stated it is sent by royal mail 2nd class. The seller says that that was a typing error....

If the seller was not a UK registered business seller then THEY DO NOT HAVE TO CANCEL !!

There is no right of cancellation on eBay for private sellers or non UK registered business sellers

The seller was charged fees the second the listing ended

Failure to complete the purchase will probably result in an unpaid case being opened & an unpaid strike on your account

Erm l have paid....I have cancelled transactions a few times over the last 12 years as a seller and recieved a final fee credit, lve never made an issue about it like this seller has. Even if they dont have to cancel then surely they still have to post out by the method it states in the listing? Or am l doing it all wrong when l sell?

@corred UK business sellers also do not have to cancel, they have to accepts returns for change of mind but do not have to cancel.

You should not be buying and cancelling purchases at all even if it is only a few times in 12 years

Bids and winning items are supposed to be binding

As already said as long as you receive your item then there is no ebay dispute for postage

I know but most business sellers will cancel as it is cheaper for them than sending

That's not what you are implying though.
