I'd say have him complete the sale.
If we all had the choice to opt out after every sale then we'd only sell
half our stuff.
We win some and we lose some on ebay, I've lost money myself but that's
the way the auction goes, don't feel bad about demanding it because if it
was the other way round he'd do exactly the same, but in the end the
choice is yours
