When an Ebay seller backs out...

[Peter_Spaeth]

Not worth the aggravation. Just chalk it up to yet another unethical ebay seller and move on.

Ebay will do absolutely nothing about it. ALL they care about is money. I won an ernie banks rookie one time for $175 and it was a super steal, don't even ask me how it happened but I paypal'd the funds immediately. The next morning I wake up with a refund and a message stating that he could not sell it for that price and he was sorry. I spoke to ebay and hes still a seller to this day.

eBay should care about it, since the seller voided the auction price and either sold it higher off of eBay
or didn't sell it all & either way eBay is out their fees & that they do care about.

I was wondering if ebay has a way to track messages after the fact. That way we could tell ebay about the auction/seller in question, and they could see the sellers correspondence

Yes, ebay personnel can see anything you send in a message. They don't necessarily read every message, but do routinely go back and read correspondence when disputes arise. Having access to this back-and-forth communication is one reason they block email addresses from being included in your messages. They don't want you having buyer/seller communication that they are not privy to. The other (bigger) reason is they don't want you arranging deals outside of ebay where they don't get a cut.

Well guys, the seller refunded my money again. He said that someone sent him a message about this website and this thread.

So it got me thinking-- I never mentioned on here what item it was, nor my ebay username. So how would someone know, right?

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....I wonder who it could've been....

That person, who obviously is a net54ember, contacted this seller and told him that he should get more for the item and sent him this forum page.

Talk about being bitter because you didn't get the item and decided to jump in the middle and tell the seller the price was too low of a price. Sorry, but that's a real douchebag right there.
