Ebay reneger report!

[hcv123]

So this Ebayer sends me a low ball offer on a big ticket item. I decide to accept it. Later he sends me a message "Sorry, I changed my mind". Already added him to my blocked bidders list. His Ebay id is:

I've had that happen a couple times to me also. I also get the one's where they say they don't remember making the offer. There's always going to be a small percentage of "Insert Your Favorite Word Here" when dealing with the public, especially online.

Been doing this long enough - just putting his ID out there to prevent other Net 54'ers who choose to block him from dealing with the same BS.

The offer and his change of mind all happened within about 12 hours.

Just curious, was it one of those offers that ebay records? If so, isn't the person that made the offer which is accepted by the seller the same as winning the auction? For example,item description indicates "or best offer". If the offer is accepted, then doesn't that indicate there's an agreement to buy?

But Ebay is so buyer supportive and seller unsuportive that the buyer can still "change their mind" - Ebay actually has that listed as a reason to cancel a transaction!!! Someone really needs to build a new auction site with elements of the "old days" of Ebay and a much more balanced platform between buyers and sellers.

Even if you could force the buyer to pay and complete the transaction having it end with a not as described return and also being out shipping costs would probably be your best case scenario. Blocking and moving on seems to be the best option to me.
