WIBU not to pick up this Vinted order?

Hi. I purchased something on Vinted a couple of days ago. Despite trying to convince myself that I really liked and wanted it, I decided that I had changed my mind. I saw that the seller hadn’t yet sent it, so at 7pm last night cancelled the order and sent her a very apologetic message to explain.
I didn’t hear anything back and at 12pm this afternoon received a notification from Vinted to say that it couldn’t be cancelled, followed by a message from the seller to say that she had just sent it. Unfortunate, but one of those things.

I regularly buy on Vinted but have never been in this position before. What happens if I don’t pick it up when it arrives? Will I be refunded in due course? And will the seller be able to leave negative feedback about me?

Thanks.

Collect it and donate or resell if you don't want it and in future make sure you actually want the item before buying it.
