Unlucky mate.
I hate timewasting wa***** like that. Unfortunatly i've come across a couple on ebay. Some people just don't understand the simple rule 'you bid' = 'you buy', these idiots don't seem to realise that it's not a joke.
Anyway isn't there some sort of legal obligation to buy if you bid and win an item??? I imagine it'd be quicker and less hassle just the relist and sell the wheels rather than pursuing it though.
....Maybe threaten him with action just for the sake of 'he's messed you around'.
Good luck with the sale, hope you find a buyer soon!

That sucks mate. I always try and demand instant payment to avoid that, but you can't walys get it. Especially when selling big things like alloys.
£300 for those though, steal!
