Just text him saying I was dropping out. He came back annoyed, said I messed him about, but judging by what the guys have said to you, it's not
even a real locost anyway.
Hoping I'll get away with it

I would probably not put too much more on here about it in case it gets picked up by him or others until you have it settled, just cover your self
first. thats only my opinion of course,

Lots of receipts does not make a nice car!
He can always pass a second chance offer, it may be 'low cost' but it is not a locost

Not a lot he can do, apart from report you to ebay. But I doubt that will be a real issue if it is your first wrist-slap?

Bit of a sticky area pulling out of a eBay auction, morally and legally. I once accidently won a car only to realise I couldn't get
insurance. I put on a very low, early bid. I apologised for the mistake and offered to pay his listing fees and pay him £50 for his trouble. He
went mad, ranting over the email and threatened me with court action. After doing research and taking advice it turns out you can be taken to court
because winning a auction is a binding contract. And normally the seller wins. After receiving several very threatening emails from the owner of the
car I relented and told him I'd buy the car and come round and pick it up. However I told him that if there was anything wrong with the vehicle
that wasn't as described in the auction, exactly as described I would refuse to buy and take him to court for my travel expenses. He refused
contact after that.
Not the best situation.

Suggested that he cancel the sale as the item did not appear to be as described after detailed photographs were scrutinised for me by independent
experts. He did so immediately, which would seem to be an admission.
Thanks very much for all your support and advice folks, it was much appreciated at a very worrying time.

At last! I've found some welding worse than my own. Some of those definitely look of the "grind down the grot to make it look
alright" type.... I wouldn't have much faith.

Ofcourse you will.
The number of times buyers have pulled out of completing purchases and ive done it a few times, thered be mile long queueueues outside courts to deal
with the cases.
Worst case you get an unpaid strike that eventually disappears.

who cares about legal things at ebay...the ebay world is a complete world of bastards and illegal deals....shill bidding with 2 accounts...friends
accounts are used for pushing the auctions...auctions are ended earlier if the price isnt what expected...completed deals ar cancelled afterwards
(with accordance of seller and buyer) so the buyer gets a refound of the sales fees etc....
so dont worry ...nothing will happen if you cancel the deal from your side and do not show-up.
sellers cannot leave neg. feedback..so another good thing for you.
honestly: this car can be used for parts only. would never invest a penny to get this roadworthy. waste of time and money as the base is already
questionable.
