Even if he doesn't pay you, you'll still be responsible for the final value fees.
File an unpaid item report. After four days, you can close the report and eBay will refund your final value fees and let you re-list the item for free or you can make a second chance offer to whoever the next highest bidder is. However, the next highest bidder is under no obligation to accept your second chance offer.
You need to file a non-payment claim with Ebay. Give the guy a NEG rating. Hopefully they'll kick him/her off of Ebay. The next higher bidder is NOT obligated to buy it since they weren't the high bidder when the auction ended. This isn't how Ebay works, and you need to make this guys life a pure hell.
Go in your sold items and beside that one click on the drop down options click resolve a problem then click cancel transaction and click buyer changed their mind,when the buyer agrees to cancel the transaction you will get your final value fee back,then you can second chance offer if someone else bid on it,if not just re-list
you can delete his bid. someone asked me this just today.
go to your selling page, click on the number of bids (the actual little number is what you click), then you will see a list of bids with a "cancel bids" option at the end. the text "cancel bids" will be clickable.
and go from there
Thats not how it works. Contact Ebay to resolve it.
A bidder one the auction for my item but told me in a message he won't be able to pay and to just give it to the next person in line. How would I go about doing this?
