I know the feeling - I spend hours cleaning up old ponies for sale, and then get the message about how their little one will love them! GAAAHHH... I literally just rescued them from all that, spent hours scrubbing detangling and removing pen, glitter, crayon, etc... only for them to go straight back. It makes me want to keep them all, and that is NOT a good thing!

For an inflated price, which was nice, but he went as a present to a... four year old. I died a little.
I just got up and have no way of making this sound diplomatic. Well it is against Ebay policy to end an auction prematurely if it has bids on it. Seller's regret is irrelevant here. You take the risk when you list the item for sale. If you didn't want to take the chance that a buyer could craft with it, or use it for dog bedding or even set it on fire, then the Arena might have been a better avenue of sale. You chose the exposure of the Ebay marketplace, anyone can buy your item and do whatever they want with it. It would be unfair to cancel the auction now.

To be even more blunt than the others I sew as a hobby and "destroy" vintage material. To be honest using material like this and turning it into something other people might use I think is better than letting it sit and rot and be stared at doing nothing. Material doesn't last forever and finding a purpose for it again is awesome. Even if you do sell it on the arena people like me would still tear it apart...so I guess make sure you never sell me anything either. I think it's bad taste to do that once you've listed it if they have good feedback as a buyer and your only complaint is the use. Sorry when you sell something it isn't yours anymore. Maybe you should be keeping the fabric instead of selling it if you're that worried, just my two cents. It doesn't sound like you're ready to let go of it to me.
