Had a buyer on ebay make an offer on one of my coins that was auto-rejected ( $270 which was lower than my auto-threshold of 275 ). He then made a second offer for $300. I accepted and sent an invoice. Hours later I get an email that he thought it was a different date ( which would have been more like a $600 coin BTW so he was majorly low-balling if it really was that ) and asks me to cancel the sale.

I did so but it seems a bit suspicious to me that he'd bid twice and not notice the date was not what he was looking for. The date is referenced about 4 times in the listing and is very clear in the pics etc.

I've never reneged on a coin offer in hundreds of buys. Seems bizarro to me. I think he changed his mind is all - in truth. But you aren't supposed to be doing that on ebay offers! Run into this a lot?

Yes, it happens and he was just fishing to see what you'd sell it for.

If it'd were me, I'd make note of his address and then add him to your blocked bidder list. You can also report him to ebay and they'll put him on their radar screens. Excessive bid retractions and requests to cancel the sale raise flags.

You might be able to review his feedback and see if you can see any subtle hints as to nefarious ebay dealings. (Yeah, everything will be "positive", but might be "weird" positive.)
