Selling something on ebay...

I was selling something on eBay. The auction ended, the guy hadn't paid, and then after two days he starts arguing about shipping costs. So, i got annoyed and cancelled the sale and told him to sod off -- no problem, i just relist.
Then i get the sob stories, "...I'm unemployed!" Now, the item is a part for a Porsche 911, so yeah... But WAIT! He then tells me it's for a customer? Unemployed but for a customer? Hold-on...!? Social Services know about this? Benefit fraud is a crime...
He was bickering over £2.99 he claims i was over-charging for the shipping. I probably was. The item is worth £170 and it was being sold for £50 to make room in the garage, and I was charging £10 to ship it. So yeah, £2.99. Maybe shipping was closer to £7 -- what a scoundrel and rouge i am.
I wouldn't mind adjusting the shipping BEFORE the auction ends but two days after? f**k-off.
