I know you said you weren't fussed about getting them but the seller is wrong - report it
If you turned round after you'd won the auction and said "Actually I only want to pay a fiver" they wouldn't have it would they?!

Rules for Buyers: Overview
eBay's policies are rules and guidelines that help to create a safe, fair and enjoyable trading environment for all eBay members. As a buyer, you are responsible for reviewing and understanding eBay’s policies, as well as all applicable laws and regulations as outlined in the User Agreement.
eBay’s policies are intended to:
Support government laws and regulations
Minimise risks to buyers and sellers
Provide equal opportunity to all buyers
Provide an enjoyable buying experience
Support the values of the eBay Community
Buyers cannot:
Commit to buying an item (either by winning the item or buying an item in a Buy It Now listing) without paying. To understand the penalties, please refer to the Unpaid Item Policy.
Bid with no serious intention of buying. Most of the items on eBay are auction-like listings and each bid is a binding contract. Certain eBay online auctions involve non-binding bids (for example, some property auctions). However, these non-binding bids represent a buyer’s serious expression of interest in buying the seller’s item, and insincere bidding is not permitted.
Misuse the bid retraction option to manipulate the bidding process.
Bid on or buy an item when they do not meet the seller’s terms as outlined in the item listing, or bid or buy with the intention of disrupting a listing. This is known as unwelcome and malicious buying.
Engage in shill bidding to increase an item’s price or apparent desirability artificially. Bidders on an item must be wholly independent from the seller of that item.

Items sold, seller has to honour the amount it sells for
Contact ebay and tell them, tell the seller you will leave negative feedback - and if he leaves you negative in retalliation you will report it and have it removed from your feedback
Pisses me off things like this, obviously didn't go for how much he wanted for them now hes trying to get out of it
