Whether or not there was actually money lost from missed work, I believe, is moot. The seller can stand firmly in general principle when you consider the buyer's absolute lack of follow-through on several occasions. I just don't believe that in the absense of a concrete TOS, anarchy should ensue. Especially on a website where one only has to do a bit of reading to notice an abundance of contextual clues as to what "the norm" is concerning deposits.
At best, the buyer and those that side with him can use his family's health situation to paint a picture that makes the seller look somewhat bad, when viewed in the light of comparative morality. However, this was a business transaction between two individuals whose only relationship is within the deal itself. I don't believe business ethics and morals are even remotely synonymous, in this situation.
