    He'll have to recover the funds from you and if not, I don't know. Maybe eBay might suspend your account or something, never in that situation before.

    You've nothing to worry about. You'll be issued an unpaid item strike, docked a point with the negative feedback and that's about it. Happened me. I was ordering a mixer and the seller had the Shipping price amended during the sale (was 30, changed to 130!)

    In fairness mistakes happen, you were more than willing to pay for any losses incurred by the seller. Chances are the seller is a large company selling loads of items on Ebay and they never saw your mail, a lot of them use automated responses.

    If it still worries you contact Ebay, they've excellent customer service. It happens all the time :D

    You will get an unpaid item strike from ebay. Nothing to worry about if this is an isolated mistake. 3 (I think) unpaid strikes and ebay will kick you off their site.

    I have just filed one for some numpty who bid, has never contacted me and has not paid.

    If both you and the seller agree not to continue with the sale, he gets his fees back from ebay you dont get a strike against you and you can both even leave positive feedback. So is your seller grumpy or willing to do this?
