Not all mistakes need to be owned up to. Maybe if the sale was in Massachusetts, you would have a point. However, that is a good reason for business owners to avoid states like that. No state that I have lived in has had such unfriendly to business policies.

How does the card being delisted make me wrong? You have have to own all your mistakes lol. That’s not a arming point.

Other instances it may be another buyer emailing the seller telling them the price was too low, or offering more.

How is the seller having to own his mistake? In this case he is not. Some people are forgiving. I posted earlier that I had someone hit one of my buy it nows and then asked to cancel the sale. I could have just kept the money and taken a negative. However, I don't want to be like that. I refunded his money and relisted the item. In this case EBay is being forgiving of an honest mistake and not making the seller own his mistake.

So maybe the buyer is forgiving. It doesn’t mean you don’t have to own your mistake.even if the buyer is not it doesn’t mean Probstein did the right thing. It really doesn’t matter how you cut it. When the buyer press buy it now the entered in to a legal agreement. Where canceling the order is against the rules of eBay. The seller had enough chances to get the listing right. You do have to own your mistakes. I’m sure plenty of people wish they didn’t make a mistake that cost them a thousand dollars. I’m sure a lot of people wish they could weasel out of it. I’m sure some might be forgiven. Like when you get caught speeding sometimes the cop say keep it moving and slow down. Other times they hit you with everything they could. It doesn’t mean you were speeding unperpose. You can’t tell the judge I didn’t mean to speed so see you around.
Most people would live if they didn’t HAVE to pay the ticket or go to court but they are forced to.

A seller cancelling a a winning bid after the fact is not against eBay policy.

All your other anecdotal rhetoric is meaningless.

Unless the buyer of this card can show some kind of intentional fraud and misrepresentation in regards to the listing and actions of the seller, the buyer would have no legal case.

The subject at hand isn't as convoluted as some are trying to make it.

Like it or not, the seller made a mistake and per eBay policy, had the option to cancel the sale and did so.

"your buyer for some reason – the item was damaged, or you had fewer items in inventory than you thought, for example – you can cancel the transaction."


If price was too low?

Ted didn't you have someone cancel your winning bids/BIN on eBay because the prices where too low? Did you ever get your items or are you still trolling eBay.

I posted facts. Just because a seller may get a "defect," that doesn't mean that the seller can't cancel a sale. I showed you a seller can cancel a sale.

The card has been relisted without the previous buyer asking eBay to intervene. There is no legal recourse now. It's done with.

You are wrong in what you said.

I see no point in responding further on this particular closed auction.

"When you can cancel a listing
If you cancel a listing, it risks disappointing potential buyers, so we strongly discourage all our sellers from doing so. However, we understand that there are times when a cancellation might be necessary. Some valid reasons include:

The item is lost, broken, or no longer available


You made a mistake, such as listing the wrong starting price in an auction"

It deoes not mention a wrong buy it now price.
