Not as far as I know. Contact the seller and tell them. Offer to pay the listing fees and maybe a little extra for their time.

I think you're obliged by contract. You could just flake out and get a negative feedback if its that big of a deal. Why did you bid if you weren't willing to pay for it?

Let the flamage begin.

If you don't want to pay for it, why in the hell did you bid on it in the first place? Personally, I would pay for it to reduce the chances of tarnishing my record. Good feedback is gold. On eBay and with Heat. Don't ruin it.

does the buyer need to notify ebay for the cancellation to complete the order?

Ebay doesn't know anything after the auction ended. Give the seller some money and pretend the auction ended normally, you will both get a positive feedback.

What is the item? once you get it, I'll send you a money order for more than the amount, and you send the item to me with the extra money in cash... ;)

You can be like every other bidder on ebay and suck on a negative for it. And I like Yam's idea.

How old are you ... like 5 years old?

How long have you been using ebay? Is this your first time?

Buyer's remorse is no reason NOT to pay for an item that you won. You've received a lot of goog advice in this thread. You can:

1. Pay for the item like you are legally bound to do.
2. Work a deal with the seller so that you get out of the deal by paying their fees.
3. Don't pay for the item and most probably receive a negative. This will impact your ability to buy/sell on ebay in the future.

In 10 years of buying/selling on ebay I've only had one (1) buyer who bought an item and then could not pay for it. They had just lost their job (or so I was told). I made a decision to release them from the deal but (as a seller) you have to report the buyer to ebay as a non-paying bidder, to get a refund of your listing fees. As a non-paying bidder you get three strikes ... and you are out.

AND! if you decided to not pay for the item, and the seller leaves you a negative (rightfully so) don't you DARE leave the seller a negative in return!

In the grand scheme of things I don't ever FEEL like paying for what I'm buying from anywhere. But that's what you do when you agree to buy something.
Way to go OP. You can be the loser and just not pay and ride that negative feedback while you feel the guilt of causing somebody else fees and time for posting/sale of the item.
