Ebay: Cancelling a sale through mutual agreement.
 

To cut a long story short, I won an item on ebay and had a discussion with the seller via email. Neither of us now wish to go ahead with the transaction. What is the best way to go about cancelling a sale on ebay? Should I just 'mark as payment sent' on the item, "pretending" that it all went ahead, and then leave feedback? Or is there some other way of cancelling?
Thanks.

I am pretty sure the seller can pull the item. Have them check into that.

I beleive it's up to you guys whether or not you go thru with the sale, but I don't thinkthat EBay will let the seller off the hook for the fee that was charged to list the item.

I think Mal's right. The seller has to be willing to eat the fees. I've been on the buying end of a mutual cancel and I recall the sellers worked down the bidder list for another buyer in order to recoup fees.

Ok. It's done, Thanks.
