Any offers that trickle in afterwords, higher or lower, cannot be accepted. (I'm not a realtor, but that my best analogy for this.)
I know 'money talks' but when it comes to this forum (and others like it) I just assumed that it was in good character to oblige to agreements made. If you were afraid of non-payment, you should have made it clear that you were keeping the card for sale until cash was in hand.
While you have agreed that you made a mistake, an honest one at that, I find it baffling that you wouldn't try to correctly fix it. I would make all efforts in the future to let it be known that no sale is final until money is in your hand.
I say this all as a buyer who would be very frustrated if I found myself in this situation.

I see it differently. He has two options. Either way, you PO a customer.
Option 1 - PO a forum member and apologize
Option 2 - PO an eBay member, apologize, but still receive negative feedback
I think he chose the right option, but that's just me. Obviously there is no right or wrong answer - you end up with a PO customer either way. Again, unfortunate, but to keep analyzig it over and over doesn't do any good. It's already happened.
