No, once an auction has ended with yours being the winning bid, or you if have hit the Buy It Now button, you have won the item and the seller is obliged to sell it to you.
In a similar way, the buyer is obliged to pay for an item after they have won it even if they have changed their mind.
Sometimes a seller will end their auction early, even if they have bids; it is bad practice from the seller but it is allowed in some circumstances (for example, if the item has been broken) and must be done before the auction ends.
If the seller refuses to sell the item the buyer can report them for "seller non-performance" and can leave negative feedback for the seller.
If the buyer has already paid and the seller refuses to sell, the buyer can "open a case" with eBay, or PayPal, to get their money back and they can also leave negative feedback for the seller.

Does a seller on Ebay have to sell his item when the auction is over?
Yes. You have to sell your item to the high bidder at the end of the auction unless you set a reserve price and that price is not met. Another instance is if the person who won the item did not read your terms. For instance maybe you do not ship overseas and the person lives in Italy. If that is the case then the buyer broke the rules and you do not have to sell your item to him. what!!
What happens when the seller doesn't answer?
If, you won an auction and the seller won't make contact with you or send your item to you then you can open a dispute from inside your "My eBay" page. On the other hand if you mean your messaging a seller to ask them a question before you bid and they aren't answering you then I would look for another item with a better seller who will communicate with you.
What happens if people don't buy the product that he won in bid in eBay?
The seller opens a 'dispute' with Ebay's resolution centre. Ebay will then contact the winning bidder to find out why they've not paid for the item. Once you place a bid - you are entering a legally bound contract.
What does it mean on eBay if shows 0 bids-bidding has ended?
Bidding on eBay ends when the duration of the auction is over. If it shows zero bids when the bidding has ended, the item did not sell. If the item sold, it will show the number of bids and the user id of the highest bidder who won the item.
What will happen if you don't pay for items you won on eBay?
You will not receive the item. Additionally, an "Unpaid Item" will be placed on your account. According to eBay, "If you have excessive unpaid items on your account, we may limit or end your ability to buy."
How do you retract an eBay bid?
Just bid on a item. You can pay for it if you won it.
If you bought something from eBay on Wednesday when would you receive it?
you need to contact the seller and ask them when the item will be shipped out. Ask for a tracking number or a date to expect the item. There is a "contact seller" button on the sellers page. go to your items won page on eBay and select the item and click on the sellers name, this will take you to the sellers pageUser:Sunnybalu19:58, 1 Jan 2009 (UTC)User:SunnybaluItems bought from eBay are bought from individuals (noteBay, the company), and they can be located anywhere in the world.Some sellers will dispatch your item the same day that you pay, others will not dispatch for up to 7 days (sometimes even longer).Add in the differing timeframes for global postal services to get the item to you and you can expect your item to arrive any time within a day and a month or two, after you pay.Always ask your seller - they will have the best possible idea of when you can expect your item to arrive
What are second chance offers on eBay?
Second chance offers can oocur for a number of reasons. The main two reasons are that the person who won the bid has contacted the seller and said they don't want to buy the item or the seller has looked at the profile of the winning bidder and seen that they have a very low feedback rating and do not want to sell them the item. The other reason can be that the person selling the item has more than one of the particular item. So, a second chance offer can be sent to you by the seller when these situations have occured and it gives you a chance to get the item for the price you were bidding at. However, there is no obligation to accept it if you do not wish to or have found the item somewhere else are losing the bid. Make sure that the second chance offer is genuine though, because some dodgy sellers can send them to get more money
Can a seller on eBay decide not to sell the item after the bidding is over?
No, the sale rightfully belongs to the person who won the bidding But, the owner could keep it anyway they're just not allowed to so they could go to jail. Another answer Yes, they can but that's when you go to Paypal and open a dispute to get your money back if you have paid for your item. I agree, it's not good practice and you will receive bad feedback and loose customers.
How do you sell on eBay and do you have to mail the product to them?
Yes, you the seller are responsible for shipping your items to the people who won them. This is very easy using free boxes (priority mail, United States Postal Service) you can order them from their web site free.
How do you delete already won items on eBay?
You don't delete them They are yours and you need to pay for them. You might be able to return or contact the seller about your dilemma.
What should you do if you suspect an item you won in an eBay auction may be a counterfeit of a brand name item?
First, ask the seller directly whether or not the item is fake. You will have a recorded via email. Check the seller's feedback to see if any other buyers have complained about fake merchandise. Most buyers may not notice, but usually one or two will. If you truly believe the item is fake, dispute your PayPal payment through PayPal and provide photographs, if asked. If PayPal is taking too long, you can call their 1-800 number and inquire what you can do to speed things up. You can lodge a formal complaint at the United States Postal Service website (www.usps.com) because using the USPS to ship counterfeit items is illegal. Notify the seller that you have done this. You will need the return address on the package that the seller sent you. If you want to pressure the seller directly, start sending message to other bidders on the seller's auctions and telling them that the merchandise is fake. Fill out Ebay's online dispute form. Ebay's dispute system is slow and unreliable, however. I would not count on them at all. In addition to the above, UK residents can also contact their local Trading Standards Office for advice.
