Seller trying to cancel transaction?

You were the only bid, you'd have to agree to the cancellation.. My daughter was in a similar boat this weekend. 1550 copper cents went for .99, had wheats & steels. At least she charged shipping.

Just sounds like a sore looser to me

What's he trying to pull? The auction did not run it's course, he almost undoubtedly ended it early and forgot to kill the bids first.

To bring a little closure to the thread. I sent a message to the seller to seek some clarification on what was happening. I received a response:

"I'm very that I make you misunderstanding. My English is not very good at all.

I'll explain this situation.

The First Message Explantion.

Since today is a free listing day that you don't need to pay any listing fees. So I take this chance to relist all the unsold items that I had before and relist it again. Once I finished the relist, I noticed the 1889 Morgan dollar is in 3 days instead of 5 days period and you already place a bid. So what I have to do is to cancel your bid and relist again, but I accidently click sell the item instead of cancel it. It was a mistake - that is why I want you to accept the cancel transaction.

The Second Message Explantion.

After like 10 - 20 mins later looking at my safety box - where I store my silver coins/bars, I realized that I dont have 1889 Morgan dollar at all. Then I remembered that I sold it at the Coin Store.

ALL OF THIS, IT WAS A BIG MISTAKES AND MISUNDERSTANDING. I hope you understand what I'm trying to say. I'm trying my best to explain the situation.

Thank you."

It seems it was a simple mistake on top of another mistake. I thanked them for taking the time to explain the situation and I agreed to cancel the purchase. This was the first time I've experience this, but now I know!

Well, I canceled it in good faith. I hope the seller was being honest with me. I will be monitoring their auctions for a bit, to see if I see the same coin comes back up. If that happens, I'll make sure to send them a message that I'll be updating the members here that they can't be trusted. I don't want to take advantage of someone's mistake, but I will not hesitate to notify everyone I can if they turn out to be dishonest.
