eBay question - cancelling order before they ship?

[ski]

Hey, as some of you might know, I made my first eBay purchase yesterday

I bought it from a company called www.buyessex.com .

The auction link (it's closed, I'm the winner )

For $44, I'd rather not have a used Jensen when I found a new model for $30, so I really want to cancel! I paid through credit card (Mastercard) last night, but as of 5pm EST today, they have not taken any credit from my account. If I send them an e-mail about it, do you think they could cancel my order?

They have a return policy on non AS-IS items (mine's non AS-IS), but I'd have to pay shipping. Do I have to outline how if they cancel my order, they can save money on shipping it out to me since I'm going to ship it right back?

Am I too late? Please help!

You may be stuck. Ebay has a line in there somewhere about your bid being a binding contract. Once you place your bid you are obligated to pay up and accept the item as advertised. A cool seller may cancel the order, but since the auction concluded successfully they will be charged both the listing fee and a percentage of the final sale price. Even if they do refund your money they will most likely want those expenses covered.
