He will be charged the extra as the final bid was more than you've agreed.(£410.00 instead of £41.00,ebay charge sellers).
email ebay and explain the situation so that they can trace the paypal payment and contact the seller to verifiy details.
That way he could get a refund for the extra that ebay are charging him.
DONT LEAVE FEEDBACK TILL YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE....but keep in comunication with the seller....Mistakes happen and thats a common one!

Did he send you the item?...if not he has done bloody well out of your mistake...£43+ P&P & still has the item & never had to pay postage!!!...If this is the case don't you dare send him more.
Listen you will be hard pressed to find someone on Ebay who hasn't been given a red negative unfairly...forget it if he does..One red is not going to ruin your standing on eBay. If you are not convinced then look at it this way ...all the dreadful things which are happening in the world, please dont worry about a red negative on eBay!....:-)
PS...If the seller is saying he wont send you the item unless you pay an extra £13...in otherwords the mutual agreement was messed up & so he can't resell the item as an "item unsold" & save on relisting fees when it is resold & he will still have to pay Paypal fees on the sale to you even though the sale was negated.. then I just don't get the logic!
If he sends it to you he doesn't have to relist it & he has got his money just like he would have done if you hadnt contacted him about the mistake... just completing a mutual agreement doesn't cost anything whether it is done correctly or incorrectly, as far as I am aware.
If he doesn't send it then as I said he has got £43 +P&P for free which will more than cover lost paypal & ebay fees.
A point I have ignored & not accounted for in all I have said above, is..... did he he have to pay out fees to file a claim against you before you finally decided to pay him?...You haven't made this clear :-)
PS PS
Where did £43 + P&P come from?...was that the winning bid?
I am assuming it was. He pays fees only on the winning bid not your maximum bid

Errors are errors. The negative feedback should indicate just that. But keep the communication going. I am sure that you can come up with a common ground.
Let's say that you did bid just £41.00, then the person that bid £13 more would have won at the £43. So it is fair. Give him a small bonus if you want, but £43 does sound fair.
If you are a buyer, this is easy to explain in the future.

I feel your pain! Yes, you can retract a bid immediately if you catch it, but...one time my kid bid $10 on some Yu-gi-oh! cards. He didn't realize it was a Dutch auction and he bid on all 12 sets! I ended up shucking out $120 for some cards. You live, you learn.
If you have to pay it, I would just pay it and preserve your reputation. If you already agreed otherwise, and you have any proof (emails, etc) go ahead and dispute it. Negative feedback can be removed if you have a valid dispute.

count yourself lucky he could have forced you to pay £410 , you got the item for £41 an if you were really worried about bad feedback you could just offer to pay the £13 , under the circumstances I think that's the least you can do .
ps bidding on ebay is a legal contract , you bid £410 your legally bound to pay it .

You should have retracted bid as soon as you realised. Too late now. He gives you bad feedback so what? you can reply as to what happened. Dont worry we all get some bad experiences.

Why does no one forget to put the decimal point in when they send me a cheque?

Well you can only hope not, maybe if you give him a great review it might sweeten him up a wee bit, good luck with that one.

.......Don't leave feedback until he has left it for you. If he doesn't bother with feed back, just forget about it. If he leaves bad feed back do the same. to him, but you can explain what happened in the feedback section. Good luck.
