Reply With QuoteNot much you can do really. You and/or Ebay can't force him to send it, even if you've paid.
It's typical for (some) people to get less than they wanted and then mysteriously the item has an issue, is lost etc.
Take a breath and move on...
Guys ...I should know this by now ...
Won an auction on ebay & he's refusing to send it - where do I stand ?
c£500-£550 camera.....PM'd him before auction end and offered £450 , he said he wanted £650 !!!
I've won the auction for a very low £370 !
He's messaging me all the way up to auction end and now after I win it , says there is a issue with it
Thoughts ?

Nothing you can do sadly. It’s happens to me before.

Move on and look elsewhere.
It’s an often used excuse when an auction finishes at a low price and difficult to prove otherwise. If seller relists it as is you can let eBay know are they can potentially apply sanctions.
There was a case (involving a caravan, I think) where an eBay buyer sued a seller who refused to sell and won, but you would be utterly bonkers to even think about going down the legal route.
You could pay, wait for him to refund you, and then leave negative feedback. You might also be able to lodge a "non performing seller" strike with eBay.
Other than that, as others have said, walk away and look for another camera.

OP can report to eBay and leave negative feedback which he certainly should.

Seller can dispute -ve feedback on basis there is an issue, so the item is not as described, and have it deleted.
Chalk it up to experience...move on...don’t get wound up over it.

He would have been better cancelling transaction and saying item was broken or damaged, obviously everyone knows the real reason but at least it would be half credible rather than just refusing to post.
It’s annoying for you but Like the others have said, nothing really you can do here. The seller is not willing to sell it for the price it ended on but hopefully they will start to realise it may not be worth the money they are looking for...
You could ask him to reconsider his asking price and maybe meet in the middle somewhere. Failing that keep on looking, for me half the fun is in search...
Indeed he can, but if eBay are made aware of the OP's situation then maybe they'll likely take a dim view of a relisting.

Ignorance breeds Fear. Fear breeds Hatred. Hatred breeds Ignorance. Break the chain.
That’s what he’s done. Said there was an issue with it.
