I would go one step further and leave him negative feedback, that will show him.

Unfortunately Flappist is right, it is not worth the hassle of pursuing. It's kind of like bidding on a house at an auction, then winning the auction and just wandering off. There is nothing that anyone can do about it, thought about doing this to a few real estate agents that ****ed me off in the course of buying my first house, but sanity prevailed as I remembered I may need to sell said house one day.

1) Ebay is not binding under Australian law
2) Any person has the right to reneg on a sale unless there is a SIGNED formal contract and even then it is not all that hard to get out of it.
3) The only people who ever say "I will contact my solicitor" never actually have much to do with solicitors. If you do start an action in mags ct you will have to pay you fees (up front) with will be several thousand dollars and IF you actually force the guy to sell it to you, you cannot get costs awarded you will just wear have to wear them.
4) Go anywhere near him and/or threaten him and you will end up in jail or at best on the wrong end of an AVO which means you become just a little bit above a child molester as far as many people (including your potential customers) are concerned.

Just let it go and buy another one somewhere else.
