Sorry to hear how this ended out for you Skaar.
DERP
He better not be seen listing that item again. Clearly a coward, too. Notice his absence from this thread.
We will have to keep an eye on him. He probably saw all the other listings on eBay and died a little when he saw how low his went for.

Hey, it's certainly possible he did fuck something up in the listing - someone mentioned bidding 50 pounds and it went for 41... which would be in line with a cancelled bid. Combine that with an internet outage/unavailability... yeah.
I was more annoyed that he was showing as having logged into DP since all this and never commented in this thread. As my friend would say, weaksauce.
So it goes.
Sorry about your luck.
This sort of thing always makes me believe that the seller must not take his selling seriously, and as such, why should I waste my time bidding on one of his items next time, when he could just pull the plug, send a refund, and refuse to sell? Would be a total waste of my time, placing the bid in the first place.
if he doesn't ship neg him even if he refunds your money
FIRST OF ALL!!
I got back to the seller with in a two days of the auctions end, with no reply, i sent another email again no reply, i then sent a mesage through ebay, so it was more than a week before i heard anything
SECOND OF ALL!
i listed the Starfox Comp Cart i using Ebays turbo lister (which i'v used for more than 4 years) I usually list the item and then forget about it and wait for the email to say your item sold or didn't sell, or if i get any questions i'll reply back to, But in this case when i got a question on the last day, i noticed there was no reserve price on the auction, which i had set in turbo lister as £140 GBP, But i couldn't end the auction because ebay has the rule you can't end if there is less than 12 hours left.
I emailed ebay and got the reply, were sorry you want to end your auction, but since there is less than 12 hours you can't, all we can suggest is you cancel all bids and let the buyers know the reason why, and if someone does win your auction and pays for the item refund there money and explain the why, and hopefully they will understand the situation, basically ebay doesn't care about sellers anymore, thats why they've taken away the option for the seller to leave feedback.
That is the reason it went for a low price because i was cancelling the bids right at the end but a few bids got thru, it was impossible for me to keep cancelling all the bids at the same time, i explained this to the winning bidder and all i got is i still wish to continue the transaction???
I thought i'd explained it well enough so.. now i'm here defending myself, i used ebay since 2000 and had over 1200 transactions with over 890 ebayers and my feedback was Very very good, and a good 50% of those transactions were both selling and buying with US and Canadian ebayers.
So i follow what ebay says and emails the winner and then get 3 pages of this on Digitalpress??
I hope this address's some of your questions and comments that i'v read, i'm not in the business of messing people around, i dont appreciate being messed around so i just wouldn't do it to others.
Please feel free to post anymore comments..
EDIT*
I'v had a read through the comments again, i'm sure my rep (if i even had any?) will get shit on, thats par for the course, and to clear a few things, when ever i ship international i always take a hit on it, i always charge £9.99 when in reality its usually £18 since i always cover the full amount. (thats not including packaging, i'm the master of packaging if i do say so myself) Thats not a problem.. people do it for me so i pass it on to the next person.
Also you may have noticed i'm not on DP that.. much if ever, thats thanks to two big DP members, One of them i won there ebay auctions for over 20 Snes games and he took my $300 and had it for nearly three months, and gave me hundreds of reasons why he hadn't even sent the games i had won, i got on to another DP member and politly asked if he could ask his friend for me to either refund or send games, Its not something i wanted to do.. But it worked
So i know how things go here on DP.. My last comment is i'm not out to screw people, i'm not lame or a jerk, i'm not a cheap ass on shipping, i dont mind taking a hit if the item goes for a low price
BUT... Not when i stat a reserve and its not there, then thats not a hit i'm looking to take, if you read the description it doesn't stat that its a no reserve auction. Because it should have had a reserve, thats the last time i will ever use turbo lister, and pretty much ebay in general..
Then why didn't you say this WHILE you tried to refund his money?
Payment was sent within 24 hours after auction end (I always try to pay quickly on transactions) and I messaged you through ebay a few times before hearing back from you.
So it goes. Not my fault if you fucked up the listing that badly, if anything you can try to blame ebay. I just won and wanted my game :P
Predatorxs "story" is such crap. First of all, who set up an auction right before having "limited internet access"? That's just stupid in so many ways...or a big fat lie. Second, I'm sure turbolister does not make big mistakes like that. More like he forgot to add it, or again a big fat lie. Third it doesn't matter what you tried to cancel or do, end of the story is that Skaar won the auction and it's a contract. He paid, so Predatorxs should fulfill his part of the contract. It's enforced the other way by unpaid strike so WTF.
