	Have you got his contact details? Even if advertising as a private seller - Trading Standards may have flagged him up as a commercial seller posing as Private. Worth asking local Trading Standards officer and keep an eye out for similar advertisements with the same contact details. If it turns out to be a commercial trader there is a minimum "7 day cooling off period for any goods or services over £35". Put your dissatisfaction in writing to him NOW to cover yourself just in case you want to pursue it. If geniune private seller little you can do but you never know..... did you tell him the circumstances? If yes - sounds like he took advantage of you; if no - perhaps he has a heart.
