Quote: I wouldn't get so worked up over such a small item... I would highly doubt someone would file a police report on an $8 item This. Lick your wounds, leave negative feedback if you feel necessary and move on. There's no sense in fretting over a $9 auction.

Quote: He now says item is stolen Yeah, sure. Leave negative feedback stating seller doesn't like price he got so pulled auction. ebay is full of lowlifes like this unfortunately.

Would you want to sell something for less than face value AND pay 5$ to ship it, too? Also throw in some ebay and PayPal fees! It adds up quick. The Seller made a mistake, plain and simple he messed up. I do not condone, or agree with the Seller, but there were better ways to handle this than say it was "stolen". He could've just said I don't want to sell it for less than face. You even offered up more money, too! This is where you have every right to report him as a non performing seller and leave negative feedback. He deserves it! Other than that, not much else you can do. Sorry this happened to you.

It's not against ebay policies to have your items stolen.

I would think that he would make a deal with you rather than deal with the negative feedback

Quote: Ah ok I will offer him more money. This.. isn't the way ebay is supposed to work. It's the seller's responsibility to put items up with a starting price they are comfortable with receiving if it doesn't go any higher. If he accepts, you know that he lied to you - and I sure wouldn't want to deal with someone like that, no matter how good of a deal I thought I was getting.

Are you going to offer more money for an item that according to the seller has been stolen?

He has not yet replied, except for returning my money I sent him via paypal. How could that have happened? I never gave consent for him to cancel my order!
But I just negged him. His rating dropped to 96% now.

ebay policies aren't law. he broke no laws. You have had your money returned, and you have been made whole. Nothing to do now but walk away.

One confused seller. Lists $10 face of quarters for $10. Doesn't sell. Relists for $9. Doesn't sell. Relists for $9 and it does sell. Backs out. Makes no sense to me as he also lost that cleaver sale. I'd much rather have $200 than an old cleaver.

I'm sure this has taught him a valuable lesson about opening bids. Try to work something out but if you can't find another listing and place your bid. Sorry, but sometimes things like that happen for both buyers and sellers.
