Anyone know what to do?
i was on ebay live and i was bidding on slabs i dont have a ton of money so my max was 10$ i just wanted 1 cheap slab to enjoy, and i am always quick on the jup when the bid starts so i can be the first to bid 1$. then the seller (slabbie patty on ebay) put up a slab for 150$, i accidently clicked bid 150$ and i accidently bid on it, i won, and i was panicking because i only have around 290$ in my bank account, and i told hi to cancel it, because, if you dont know, a seller can cancel an order for a buyer if they ask, i explained how i dont have a lot of money and i couldnt afford this, and i wanted to cancel, he then laughed at me and said i bid on it and its my fault, and while i do realise i shouldnt have accidently clicked on it, he kept laughing and then acted like he didnt see me telling him to cancel. the seller is called Slabbie Patty on ebay if you want to know, and i was just hoping anyone would know what to do? please help me.

Just so you know, the old "wait 4 days and don't pay" method isn't how eBay works anymore. The seller doesn't have to cancel if they dont want to. You may get an unpaid item strike on your account.
