Buyer cancels purchase, I accidentally declined | Members help members

As already described in the title, I sold an item and shortly after the auction ended the buyer wanted to cancel the purchase, which I accidentally declined.I then contacted eBay, but they only told me to relist the item, since they can’t undo that (or don’t want to), which I won’t do if the buyer still pays after all..Well, it’s been 2 weeks now and I also sent the buyer a message asking him to please confirm that he doesn’t want the item, but no reply.Now, at the beginning of the week I set him a deadline to get back to me by today, again without success.What can I do in such a situation? Cancelling the purchase doesn’t work because there is already a cancellation request.It’s “only” about 8€, so I’d rather avoid taking legal action, since that’s too much effort for such an amount, or what do you think?Best regards
