Cars binding/not binding

[mccrossdog]

So I bought a car in a regular eBay auction (not a classified ad) for around £900 and seller is refusing to complete the sale because he was expecting £2200 for it though he didn't set a reserve.

my question relates to the terms which state. "For items listed in Property and eBay Motors classified listings, bids are considered non-binding." Since this car was not a classified listing surely my bid and auction win is legally binding? 

thank you in advance for any advice.

Unfotunately there is not to force a seller to sell an item, but this is very bad selling,  and you can if you wish contact eBay Customer Services.  Serious sanctions can be placed on the seller's account.

Explain you did not authorise this cancellation, and were very disappointed not to receive the car.

eBay will charge the seller a fee ,  and place a damaging defect on their account.  It doesn't take many defects for eBay to remove a seller permanently from their site.  eBay do not like unhappy buyers,  they tend not to come back to their site to buy.
