Hey, I won it. Cool.

You beat me! Crap.

[Baloo]

Wow, it went for THAT LITTLE?

[Sonicwolf]

I should have bid MORE! *cries*

[skaar]

I know I was surprised I won - I bid 88 pounds assuming I'd be outbid

I'm happy

[skaar]

Well now not so happy, haven't heard from the seller yet... payment was same day.

Hellooooo?

I bid 50 pounds or so. I think I made you pay much more because after I bid, you autobid back and the price when from like 12 pounds to 50something pounds.

Likely, but it's all for naught if the seller doesn't actually ship me the game :P

[Ed Oscuro]

Whups, should have used a reserve or a higher minimum bid (aren't like the first five auction listings per month free now?)

I still kind of sympathize with Predatorxs but...you gotta ship it now. (Had a similar thing happen to me a couple years ago but I shipped.)

[Sonicwolf]

I never, EVER get word of shipment from the people I buy from. I just have trust that they wont try and screw me over.

Seller contacted me saying there was an error in the listing and wants to void the transaction and refund my money. Thoughts?

He needs to elaborate on "error on the listing".

To me it sounds like "I found out I sold it too cheap and I am keeping it for more money later" Im sorry to say.

Hi there,

thanks for bidding on my item, i was trying to cancel the bids on the auction when you won, thus the low price it went for, i tried cancelling the auction, but ebay wouldn't let me, since there was less than 12 hours left (which was news to me)

when i emailed them about the auction, and how non of the options i had chosen worked (postage/reserve price), they told me to cancel all the bids and if someone did win tell them the situation?..

I was cancelling the auction since i wasn't allowed to use a reserve, and wasn't allowed to use postage options i used turbo lister to list the auction, Which is stupid.

so i hope you can accept my apologises for the time wasted, and i'll refund your payment.

i have sent you a few emails but had no responce, so am sending you a msg thru ebay, once i hear back i'll send your money straight back.

many thanks, speak to you soon.

This is what I've got so far, and I welcome him to discuss in here - it's your thread after all

Personally, I've been on the short end of this a few times myself and I've gone through with it - a few protos went pretty cheap for me... and a few really high. I'd rather just go through with the deal, and that's what I replied to him.

[Sonicwolf]

I dont understand why the transaction needs to be cancelled.

[Baloo]

I dont understand why the transaction needs to be cancelled.

Neither do I. It sounds like he doesn't want to pay the shipping. Tell him this:

"I'll pay for the shipping." See what he says then. If he still wants to cancel, he's bullshitting you and wants a higher price for the item.

[Sonicwolf]

If he still wants to cancel, he's bullshitting you and wants a higher price for the item.

He probably listed it on the presumption it would go really, really high and then if its not high enough he would cancel and relist at a higher bid price.

[TRM]

yeah that is sucky to back out after the auction had ended. IMO, that is the risk one takes when selling on auction, and if he or she cannot run the risk of selling it if it does land a smaller price than expected, then do not post it as an auction.

[TonyTheTiger]

Yeah, this sounds really lame. If he wants to cancel, there's nothing you can really do about it. Not like you can force him to ship the game to you. But if he ends up relisting the item to get a higher price then that's just sleazy.

[Sonicwolf]

Too bad there wasnt some protection from sellers that do things like this. Ridiculous, sleazyness.

Predator Xs, if you are sick of people cancelling bids then dont cancel on people who DO bid. Ship the item for god sakes. There is no reason to cancel the transaction.
