OT - guess I didn't really win that Probstein auction

Never mind, read the whole post.

I would just let it go. As the OP states, he found the exact card was listed and sold 2 months. Makes it much more understandable that it is just a mistake. Is it disappointing as a buyer, absolutely. Should the seller have caught it, absolutely. Is the OP hurt financially, don't think so. Is this going to really make difference in OP's life, don't think so. Mistakes happen. Just move on. Not everything has to become a big deal and you don't need to be compensated every time someone messes up.

Even if a mistake (or not) by the party listing the auction on Ebay, I wouldn't leave negative feedback, especially if you hope to continue bidding on that party's auctions in the future. It is possible they could ban you from their auctions going forward then.

I haven't had any dealings personally with Rick, but know I have read quite a few threads with accusations here on Net 54.

I would likely take the refund (after which I do not think you will be able to leave negative feedback) and keep the card/cert on your radar.

Possibly just an "Ebay glitch" - though one I haven't heard of before - Ebay automatically relisted a card that had sold already? Really?

Possibly - someone looking to flip the card and unhappy with the 40% loss?

Yes, really. A few months ago there was a thread on Blowout that discussed this very problem. It started happening when eBay went to the automatic monthly relisting. At the time, I started receiving BIN's for several items that had already sold. I went through my entire inventory, item by item, which was around 1500 items at the time and I found 24 that had sold in the past couple of months and then eBay had relisted them. It still happens once in a while, but at this time, I am not going through all 3100 of my listings to verify that they are all correct.

I’ve had the same happen a few times. This sounds like an auction, where it happened to us on BIN listings…but could be the same glitch or just a mistake. If you list thousands of items, a mistake or two is bound to happen.
