eBay and Craigslist finds

Well I won this for £23.55 and thought I'd go and see it while I was out training tomorrow when the seller sent me a message saying he couldn't sell it for such a low price so he had ended the auction but hadn't realised that if you do that just before the end it automatically sells to the high bidder.

Can't decide whether to just pay the money and let EBay sort it out or just get him to publicly accept he is a time wasting tool.

what a silly sod. just pay ebay, i'm sure he'll make sure to read up about start prices and reserves next time he sells something. hope it gets sorted.
