I don't think he can require payment.

This happened to me once. I was the highest bidder but didn't reach the reserve. The seller offered it to me at my high bid and I accepted. Since it was my choice, it seems like I wasn't obligated.
But this was back in 2006. I don't know if that still holds true today.
