otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 12:07 am I had the following experience and I'm wondering if anyone understands what's going on: I won a coin auction at a good price, since no one else bid. The seller refunded my money and opened a request for me to allow cancellation. He claimed that he had sold the item to someone else, which is bull. He pulled something like this on someone else, according to his feedback. I then tried to leave negative feedback myself. E-bay said that he was a "power seller" and that I would have to wait 7 days. I was told to opt for "Leave Feedback Later" instead. But once I agreed to cancellation, the item completely disappeared from my Purchase History. Report this Post to the Staff

I guess they want me to jump through hoops for them. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 4:56 pm I believe that once a dialogue is going on between buyer and seller, neither can leave feedback during the process. Report this Post to the Staff
otto Pillar of the Community United States 1326 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 5:29 pm The seller has messaged me with an apology, which something you usually don't get in a situation like this. So I take it at face value and assume he's truthful. Maybe it's a good thing I wasn't able to leave neg. feedback, which I do not like to do. Thanks for everyone's feedback.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 11:09 pm I thought a seller was not suppose to sell a item they have listed on ebay. Weather it is at a coin shop or show. And not suppose to end a auction once there is a bid on the item. If a seller does this often, their account could be suspended or canceled. If is was accident, I might try to be understanding. If I made the mistake, I would try to make it up to the bidder. Report this Post to the Staff
