Ebay bid retraction

I was looking at an item on eBay, on my iPhone.
Going to press "Watch this item" I hit "Buy it Now", it took me to the confirmation page and I thought sod it I may as well have it, so pressed confirm.

Now the issue is twofold- number one I am an idiot, and it is the wrong part.
Number two I contacted the seller and explained that it was a mistake, and could I possibly retract the bid, sorry for the inconvenience etc.

He says fine, but wants a fiver for wasting his time, fees etc.

The item price was £20 (with postage of £4, but I'd have picked it up).

Now I have never sold anything through ebay- will relisting it cost him £5?

What would the lfgss community call a fair price in this situation?

Might be better to just have it and pass it on to someone here, perhaps? What is it?

No one here would be interested- it's a foglight lense/assembly (waits for pitchforks etc).

That is, to be fair, what I thought. In giving me the chance to get out of it he is doing the decent thing, just wondering if £5 is really what it costs to list the part really.

If the listing has ended and you’d like to withdraw from the purchase for any reason, you should explain the situation to your seller and ask them to agree to mutual withdrawal from the sale.
If they agree, they can file an Unpaid Item Dispute and state that you both agreed to withdraw from the sale. They’ll then receive a credit for the fees they were charged when you won the item. In addition, as long as they state you both agreed to withdraw from the sale, and you confirm this when asked by eBay, you won't get an Unpaid Item Strike against your account.
