Its not that, the part hadn't been paid for so the guy hadn't despatched it, he offers a refund on returns anyway, so in my wisdom thought i would save him the trouble of packing and sending it, only for me to return it wasting my time.
Seemed sensible to me.
More sensible would have been to message him as soon as you knew you didn't need the part. Then he could simply have not accepted your offer and kept the llisting going.Seemed sensible to me.

So you bought something from ebay, didn't pay, then moan when you get a strike for not paying?
Only that wasn't what he did, was it? Did you actually read what he wrote? It's not really 'simple as that' is it?

I went out of my way to save the seller the trouble.
Here's how it happened,
Put in offer for item
Mate found one, gave it me for free
Few days later offer gets accepted, oh bugger,
Immediately messaged seller, explaining what has happened, and as he offers a refund on item anyway it will save him the bother of posting it, and me the bother of returning it.
Left it at that, few weeks later no further communication from seller, assumed all ok, non payment rap appears.
Sneaky wker.

Personally I have you at fault here.

I bought an irmscher gearknob from a guy on Ebay a while back. Gearknob itself is threaded and comes with an adapter you put on the shaft with some grub screws, then gearknob on top. Anyway seller lists it mint condition etc etc all looked good. Buy it and there's no adapter. Asked him where's the adapter and he told me it ex display model, doesn't come with one. Some people disagree but I feel if it doesn't come with the necessary part to fit it you should mention it in the advert. Ended up with a big dispute of him telling me to buy another gearknob and make an adapter out of that and then told me he'll give me a 20% refund to cover the cost. I asked for the full refund he told me all modification parts to a car need some work to fit them and it didn't state it came with the adapter so it's my own fault. I've done plenty of mods before and said all parts adverts state if they need other parts or work to fit them and Irmscher doesn't say "comes with adapter" on their own advert on their website because obviously should come with it. Carried on refusing. Soon as I filed a purchase complaint thing through Ebay he was alerted of it and told me he'd give me a full refund and there's no need to file a complaint. Already been done and had given them my reasoning and they closed it with the Seller needing to give me a full refund.
I don't know why they even try it
So the seller didn't send you something that he hadn't advertised and you hadn't paid for and you complained and opened a dispute? Dear God...!I don't know why they even try it

If the transaction has gone through just leave some negative feedback, word it carefully so it does not get removed.
Did you not bother to read the post?The transaction hadn't gone through - hence the strike for non-payment.
Any feedback left by a non-paying bidder (such as the OP) will be removed automatically or by a quick call to Ebay.
As for the OP - I wouldn't worry too much as long as it's your first one.

So your issue was not withdrawing your offer once you no longer needed the item from eBay.Few days later offer gets accepted, oh bugger,
TBH I don't see the seller has done anything wrong here, and is trying to recover his fees.
Have you picked up the phone / messaged him directly to discuss?
