buyer not paying - do i get charged FinalValue fee if I cancel?

So  a buyer used buy it now option on an item I had going as an auction, but I haven't received payment in two days. I sent the buyer multiple messages but haven't heard back. I guess the next option would be to cancel the transaction because I only have a short window of opportunity to sell and don't want to go through the lengthy process of unpaid items claim which I don't think will do anything anyways.

 

My question is - if I initiate the cancel transaction, can i get my final value fee back? Or do i have to get the buyer to initiate it? Thanks.

Non payers should get unpaid item strikes and be added to block bidders lists. The need for transaction cancellations should be rare and only occur if seller has done something wrong.
