You've committed to buying this item. Please go to checkout and pay.
I don't like to buy it.
Please remove it from my shopping cart,

The item is in the cart, not committed to buy!
Sheesh!
Probably has something to do with this statement by the OP....
"You've committed to buying this item. Please go to checkout and pay."
If they hadn't hit the buy button, they wouldn't be getting a message to check out and pay. You should know that. Sheesh!

You don't get the "pay now" message if item is added to cart only if you "buy now"(which is a commitment )or accept an offer. I have on occasion had items sitting in the cart for days and was not nagged to pay

My husband has had items in the cart for months while he tries to decide which one he wants to buy. Like you, he's never had a demand to pay because he's committed to buy an item that is just sitting in his cart. Only after he's selected to buy the item does the prompt appear to pay (he always pays immediately).

I'm wondering if they put the thing in the shopping cart but looked at the ad again later and pushed the buy it now tab or whatever, because ebay doesn't usually give a message that you have committed to buy, go to checkout and pay for items that are just in the cart.
Blackmih's post is confusing in that aspect. If an item is just in his cart, he needs to remove it.
Or he could just mean he committed to buy but now doesn't want it and wants the sale cancelled and no reminder of it showing. That's how I am interpreting it.
If he has somehow committed to buy & doesn't want it, then I agree with sons n daughters that the best solution is for Blackmih to just not pay. He isn't going to anyway, we can tell that from his post. I don't think it is bad advice to give a buyer, it is the most straight forward way out of a mess like this. The seller can very easily claim an unpaid item and give the buyer a strike.
It's not that I like to see sellers messed around, just that I think realistically, it's the safest bet for sellers.
