That is a good reason to use Paypal because the buyer would then have had to checkout and pay. Then it was too late for him to backout.
However, that being said, it was not ethical for him to change his mind. He obligated himself to buy it and in doing so took the item off of the market. He owes you the deal. He can just resell it if he does not want it.
Most experienced online buyers jump in and buy sight unseen. They rely on the seller's honest representation and the pictures.
I have noticed on here that all too many sellers provide no information, sizes, condition, weight, color, etc. A seller needs to provide all of the data that they themselves would require if they were the buyer.
You might as well forget thinking that you can suck the buyer into calling you for info and then putting a selling job on him. That is old school and rarely works. In the digital age, there is ALWAYS other item just like it right around the corner.
