Question for EBay sellers

[Jim65]

Say you list an item and a buyer pays but then you realize you made a mistake and the Buy It Now was too low. At what point do you say its my fault and take the loss? At what point is the risk of taking a possible negative feedback better than the monetary loss?

If it's a price I listed I honor it, period.

I totally agree with Scott. Own your mistake and treat it as an important future lesson. It has nothing to do with the negative, it has to do with the way that you conduct yourself and your business.

Just my 2¢. I hope it wasn't too costly.

I am the buyer. Seller listed card for $10, I paid, he cancelled the transaction and relisted for $30. He apologized but I think he should honor the transaction.

I once sold a $1,000 card for $600. It was when Ebay was having glitches and no one could access the site on one evening in particular. Did I really want to ship a $1,000 card and take a huge loss? HELL NO.....Did I ship the card?? Of course I did....the winning bidder flipped it immediately for $1,100. I remember it to this day. It leaves a salty taste in your mouth, but Ebay, unfortunately, sets it up that way when they give the buyer all the power.
