If you withdraw your bid, then you have no right to leave feedback. Otherwise, the transaction is firm, and you can leave negative feedback. I think that's why the seller wants YOU to cancel the transaction.

Sounds screwy to me - in that the seller is messing with you.

Just doesn't have the right ring to it. I would send him email reminding him of ebay policy (my assumption, he knows it), and ask him to cancel it. Doesn't sound like you'll get the coins, anyway.

The ethical conundrum is this: if his daughter is real, the seller is basically saying to her, "If you do not like the outcome of any contract you enter into, it's perfectly all right to renege or get the other party to renege on it." Bad example to set in front of a child. A slippery slope leading to potential legal ramifications later.

As to the OP's situation, stand firm and allow the seller to cancel the transaction. Do NOT get a NPB strike as a result of someone's careless "mistake." The entire sob story sounds fishy.

Is this person a NEW E-Bayer or someone with a feed back history if he is new I would let him go through the push up's of cancelling the auction etc. to Teach HIM a lesson on how to do business if he has a feed back history I would say he is up to no good.IMHO.

Thanks for all the feedback! I(politely) told the seller that I did not wish to cancel my payment. I assume if he really wanted to he could have canceled the auction and refunded my money. I got an email today notifying me that he sent the coins and he will be leaving positive feedback on my account.

If the daughter was not fictitious then I DO feel bad for her but the father should have known better than to promise her something that was unlikely to happen.

Fatboy-He's not new to ebay (1100 feedback) but this was his first sale in a couple years
