If this was a $100 card, I'd say just move on, but it's not. Kind of a garbage move if you ask me.

Yeah, I get that. I'm just saying it is not a safe practice to dump a card you love for an upgrade without getting the upgrade in hand first. Stuff happens. Postal workers screw up. Deals fall through after digital cash changes hands.

I agree with ya Paul, but really it's beside the main point...the fact the the OP sold his card without having the new one in-hand is on him, but a sale is a sale and backing out is a shitty move.

IMO Dan should definitely honor the sale and I'd expect him to wake up tomorrow morning and make this right. I have a bad feeling this isn't going to work out well for him otherwise.

Yep, completely agree with that. But as far as backing out of deal, yeah that sucks.

I agree that this was a sale unless both parties agreed to cancel it. I would like to see someone sell their house, get paid by the buyer, and then try to return the money and stay in the house because they decided they didn't want to move any more. I know a written contract wasn't signed over the Mick in this case, but a deal was struck and payment sent and received.

To try to put a positive spin on this for Eric, at least he got his money back (even if Paypal is holding it for a few days for some reason).
