When an Ebay seller backs out...

[Runscott]

If you click 'Find a member', the resulting screen then adds 'by bidder' under the 'Items' search area. I guess ebay missed that.

I was just messing around trying to find what Albert lost out on last night, but only found a couple of $10 boxing cards that ended back on May 27. I guess one of those deals went sideways - sorry to hear that, Albert.

Was a different ebay user name.. Thanks for looking. This is becoming a new fad with sellers.

Frankly, I would just neg the seller, put 1's in the DSR's and move on. This happens all of the time with nonpayment from ebay buyers, so I consider this the same thing. I don't think anyone threatens ebay buyers who don't pay with lawsuits.

Why not? I think you can. In fact, the seller has to open an ebay case to cancel the transaction after the refund, and the buyer has to agree to the cancel transaction. Otherwise ebay will still charge the seller the full final value fee even though the buyer has been refunded.

This is problematic when trying to find items that just ended as ebay now hides completed listings from search results for 24 hours after the item ends, and I think this applies when searching users' buying histories as well. If you have the item saved in your watch list or know the item number, you can still pull it up, but it won't turn up in search results for 24 hours, even if you type in the exact title.

This way you can tell if a board member contacted the seller within that window... wmoments after you started a thread about the good deal you just got (had)

At the time I started the thread, the seller had already given me a refund. The whole purpose of the thread was to see if there was anything that could be done about a seller backing out.

In the meantime, some punk reached out to the seller and told him he sold the item for too little.

It's all fine. I don't care about the bat now for multiple reasons, and the person who contacted the seller is clearly clueless. I really just care about the person who contacted the seller, that's all at this point. That was such a crummy thing to do.

I couldnt agree more. I "lost" 3500.00 because...like an idiot I outed my winnings before they were in hand

Never again

That was a d-bag move on the outer's part.

I am still confused by this thread. You said in the first post that seller was told by someone that the item was undervalued and the seller backed out of the sale and refunded the money. Later you said the seller had a change of heart and was going to honor the sale. Then you said he backed out again because someone from this site emailed him to tell him what the item was really worth. But he already knew it was worth more from your original post? So why the outrage about the role of an anonymous person possibly from this site. After all you discussed it in an open forum, how could you not reasonably expect it to get back to the seller? I get being upset at the seller but clearly there is something I missed or something unsaid in all of this because I don't get the outrage about the anonymous emailer.
