That's the whole point of a deposit...

... it is meant to be forfeited if the buyer backs out of the deal.

In exchange for receiving the deposit, the seller agrees to not sell the item to anyone else, even if another buyer comes in with a more generous offer.

If a deposit doesn't mean that, then it is meaningless.

If there are meant to be exceptions to these two rules for either side, they need to be put in writing.

Short story? Never put down a deposit unless you really mean to follow through.
