When an Ebay seller backs out...

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.

Sorry to hear that. The really sad part is the douchebag probably did it to buy the card out from under you. I had a fellow member do the same thing to me before.

It wasn't a card, which proves my point to the douche that did it. He knows who he is.

Last year I sold some fairly expensive cards to an ebayer who turned out to be a forum member. My ebay store basically mirrors my web-store, except items are, on average, 10-15% higher on ebay due to the additional costs. This isn't always the case, but it is on average.

Here's the unanticipated result: a forum member contacted the buyer and told him that he could have gotten them cheaper in my store, so the buyer then contacted me and wanted reparation.

I'm always amazed at the creative ways that forum members can find to stir up shit between other members. Fortunately it's only a few - there are thousands of members here and while we hear about every single douchebag, we only hear about a small percentage of what the other guys are doing in positive ways for the hobby.

So, Nate - forget about the guy keep having fun.

FUNNY!!! Mine was a board member as well... But I found out who it was. Actually he admitted it

This is a strange place.

Lot of things just don't make sense in this thread

• Bought an item for only a few hundred, but worth thousands
• Somehow a board member knows your eBay username and exactly what you bought
• You won't out the eBay seller

Sorry, but things just aren't adding up.

See post directly above yours

This is a strange place.

What becomes an interesting long discussion thread is when (not necessarily this case) a buyer comes on Net54 to complain about a seller and the seller is actually also a Net54 member, who responds here on the forum.

Oh is he now? According to the seller, he said someone messaged him. I'm only going off what the seller told me here..

Suppose his ebay ID is the same as his ID here? This isn't rocket science. It appears the item in question was relisted at 4x the purchase price.

Makes sense, but how would anyone know exactly what he bought?

Completed items.

Just type his ebay ID in under "find items by bidder", and email away!

Let them do all the hunting for you, swipe in at the end and collect the game

Yes it is, but I never mentioned what the item was. The person who reached out to the seller either took the time to look up my eBay username, or just checked the completed listings to find the item, which I think was the case because it popped up on the completed listing list around the same time the schmuck contacted the seller. Hmmm....

Anyways, I'm not getting the item thanks to this schmuck who was upset they didnt get the item for themselves and decided to contact the seller. It is what it is.

He knows who he is....
