Long story short, I'm selling my DLSR camera on eBay, i was after £300 for it, some guy mailed offering £300 so i said £330 as after ebay fees i would get less. He responded saying he would transfer the funds to my account and i could end the auction early to avoid fees. He has lots of feedback so i agreed, money has gone in my account, auction is due to end this afternoon.....eBay won't let me end it!
Any Ideas?

Let the Auction run?
Just ask him to bid 1k on it and settle via paypal outside of ebay.
Once you've recieved your £330, you can both mark the auction as payment recieved.

... And then pay the associated fees for selling something for £1k.

Cancel all bids, when it ends if someone wins it, tell them the item was stolen from you.. eBay can't argue with that.
Infuture make sure you end an auction before the last 12 hours!

Nice way of doing business, someone pays you for it but if you get offered more you will see it to someone else
