Ebay bin opinion
Just looking for opinions on a situation I found myself in this weekend.
I came across an early 1950's HOF card on Ebay this weekend that usually sells for around $40.00 and had a Buy it Now price of $.99 cents. So I hit BIN and paid for it right away.
About an hour later I receive an email from the seller that Ebay put the ad up by mistake. He was putting other cards up and using this ad as his boiler plate for the other ads. He also said he sold the card "offline" and didn't even have it to send to me. He offered to send me about $5.00 worth of cards from the same series.
I've always held to my bidding and selling commitments on Ebay although a few times I second guessed a few bids I placed and won and some low sale prices for some items I sold.
What is the seller's obligation? Should I just be a nice guy and say don't worry about it and refund my money or should I ask for a similar valued card or?
I have not contacted Ebay at this time. Thanks in advance for any opinions. Tom
