E-Bay purchase?

I think in this case, you must have missed the "Poor" comment.



Not uncommon, but not the best practice by sellers. If it's someone who doesnt frequently sell on eBay, they probably would only check the site once they know all their items have sold and even then, they aren't in a rush. Customer service obviously isn't their #1 concern.



If I recall, this is actually the eBay default. Some users change their setting to send an invoice immediately, some after 1 day, and some even, say, a week.




Yes, you are obligated to buy it. You bid on the item knowing that there wasnt a back scan. Just because there wasnt and you missed part of the overall description, and they were slow to respond to your messages (which they technically arent obligated to do), does not mean you aren't contractually obligated to complete the transaction by paying for it.

We've all done this before, myself included (multiple times).

Pay for the item and consider it a very cheap $11 lesson.

In the future, either ask for the back scan before bidding, or just know that you are taking a risk. Most users on this site either demand a back scan or just skip the auction entirely.

Hope this helps

Great info, wilkiebay, and what I thought myself. I assume now, with the animosity between us, the card may come in not the condition I purchased it in or very well pkg'd?

Thanks

Not going to post it as there is no need to air their name/business on a public forum, when after all, they didn't do anything wrong other than being tardy with my message requests.

Like Wilkiebaby stated, they are not obligated too, I bid on it without seeing a pic of the back and they likely didn't edit their post?

Lesson learned for me, and hopefully the back of the card isn't as bad as I am anticipating?
