I'm curious for an opinion from those of you who use eBay. I just had an auction finish yesterday, and the buyer sent me this.
"In the week since I placed my bid for your poster my wife received notice that she is being downsized from her job. I’m gutted that I cannot complete the purchase for the poster because I have been searching for one for a very long time. But the reality of our current economic situation makes it impossible. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Do I just accept that? Do I rate the buyer poorly on eBay? Do I offer to the next bidder? Do I just relist it?

Guys, I am not a moderator! I swear to God! Why does everyone think I'm a moderator?

Report it to eBay, relist it, and just don't give that guy a review. If eBay punishes him, that's his fault. You shouldn't have to pay fees because his wife told him he couldn't spend the money

Yeah, that looks like that's my course of action, but eBay makes you wait 2 days for payment before you can report non-payment. I can report him now for violation of eBay policies, but that's just my suspicion. I have no evidence that he's lying to fuck up my sale.

I don't pretend to be an expert at posters. I posted it for $50, figuring I'd pay for my mystery box and maybe a bit more. An hour later, it was over $900.
