>>>End of story.

No, I'm afraid it isn't.

>>>You should have paid when the auction was over and said nothing else.

What is wrong with you?

*I* responded to an e-mail -FROM- the seller. I did not contact him after the auction ended. Ask anybody that has ever sold me anything how long they have had to wait for payment.

>>>You made a commitment when you bid.

DUH!!!! Ya think?

How many times do you have to be told that *I* did not ask to be let out of the transaction.

I was prepared to, financially able to, and perfectly willing to fulfill my obligations with respect to that auction. If the seller was unhappy after I accepted his offer (for any reason) I would do WHATEVER I COULD to make him happy and I told him as much.

I don't know what your problem is...
