I won an auction on ebay that seemed quite fair. Paid within Minutes then I get a letter stating the pictures were wrong and that I have a choice of another coin with a different error or a refund. Shortly after responding stating I wanted the coin listed he refunded my money not giving me the chance to leave feedback. This is so dirty it should be illegal. You post Item "A" someone wins it but you wanted more so you say sorry take item "B" It was a mistake or here's your money back. I don't care if he's a member here or not it's about finished me on ebay. I saved all the user info so if anyone wants it let me know. I'm not out to tarnish anyone but I hate being taken.  |

Can't you still leave feedback even if you got a refund?

You could report to ebay. |

Ask the guy which part in which city you want to meet in and then when you meet throw hands with each other.  |

You think I'd like to give him a hug? You think it might help? Seriously, If you find something you've been looking for and have some one take it from you it's comforting to know you'll be smothering them in hugs.

It's just a part of ebay and it stinks. If you are that angry show your dissatisfaction by closing your account along with a nasty letter to corporate. That should make you feel better. |

I see no reason you can not post a link to the auction so members can be warned.

yes that is disappointing. What gets me about ebay is the policy of returns, I think it should be determined strictly on the sellers choice. If you choose no refund for buyer, keep it that way. If you choose the route of refund, then determine it on the sellers reason for it and the experience with the buyer. It is a pain of when the buyer looks at the listing and buys it puts the seller through the trouble of sending an item to be looked over by the buyer and then sent back... |

Well no, throw a brick in his window, replace his licence plate, leave something disgusting on his front porch but what I have noticed is that I never actually have time for revenge and things like that which is probably a good thing a way. I was being sarcastic last comment so don't worry because instead of hugging if I were you I would want to throw hands with him very much.

Public shaming is in order, I believe.

OK, as someone who sells a lot of stuff on ebay and occasionally makes mistakes on listings.... give the guy the benefit if the doubt. You are out nothing at this point. I do a lot of trading on ebay....probably 1500 + buys and 3000+ sells...and I have seen no seller try to do a bait and switch. I have seen lots of sellers honour sales of $100 coins to me for a small fraction of the value cause I got lucky on an auction. Similarly, I have sold someone on this site a $40 coin for $2 because that's the way it worked out. I suspect it is not a bad seller....just a mistake uploading a photo etc .etc. Edited by Smallcentguy

BTW, on let's say 3000 sells I have had 0 returns. I have had to cancel maybe 10 sales due to listing errors with photos etc. I have had probably 25 frauds committed against me by either the postal service or buyers who claimed non-delivery. The system is rigged against sellers, not buyers.

I think you are taking thus far too seriously and personally. In reality you lost nothing but the opportunity to buy a coin you really wanted. It is not like he cheated you, he merely backed out of a deal. I would be willing to bet, there is not a collector among us who either through, the want ads, craigslist, ebay, friend of a friend, has not had aleast one deal fall through due to someone backing out at the last minute. I know I have. File a complaint with ebay and move on, a pitfall of collecting ..... anything.  |

I agree with Smallcentguy, you got your money back move on.
Pointless to even want to leave feedback not knowing for sure what happened.

No harm no foul, you are all worked up over absolutely. Nothing. You really have no loss here. It is probably a simple mistake.If you were carrying on like this in a major retail store , you would be escorted to the front door by store security. I totally agree with SCG ,Pman, and Denco. You want to talk ebay sure. In my opinion there has never been a business I have been involved in where an honest seller is totally at the mercy of a buyer. ebay is totally for the buyer. If you have a problem with the above seller take it up with ebay I am sure they will find a miracle way to help. Move on next bus comes buy in ten minutes. |
