You ended an auction and PULLED it early because YOU made a mistake
on shipping destinations? And an honest and, it sounds like, a new
ebay'er (with little feedback, as all newbies have), placed a bid
and because you didnt want to mail it, you yanked it?
Its these same shenanigans that sellers do that also has given ebay
a bad name. When that bidder placed a bid, he began a contractual
obligation with you. You mention, and basically accuse the buyer
possibly not being honorable?? On what basis? Are you kidding? All
these excuses as to why you were justified in pulling the auction.
None hold water. What *you* did was dishonorable. Shame on you.
This kind of action is NO different than that of non paying, winning bidders.

i ended an auction early 2 weeks ago because the bidder was from
europe with small feedback. i forget to set the item as NO OUTSIDE
USA delivery. the item was a 9.99 auction book----very, very, very
thick/heavy. bidder was likely to be the only bid. so why risk
spending 25/30 postage in a no-win situation. there is no delivery
confirm at that rate., so if the buyer is not honorable, i lose the
book, plus the postage. the upside would have been a net on
8.00. hence----stupid on my part.
i have never been burnt with buyers outside the USA, but the
potential is there.

The way it works now. YOU were supposed to wrap the parcel and get it into
the mail within 5 seconds of his money hitting your PP account.
I guess the safer way is to acknowledge the payment and tell the buyer when
you are going to ship.
