eBay question - what would you do?

[BobbyStrawberry]

I think you made the right move. As a seller, I've learned that someone who is a pain to deal with before you even send anything is likely to be a pain later on as well.

$85 not worth the energy.

Yeah, and I've had situations where a sale fell through and the next sale is higher anyway.

This...I had a guy renege on a $1,000 offer for a Mantle card I had. I accepted his offer and he told me to pound sand. I ended up selling the card to a buyer in Australia for $1,400. He was pleased as punch.

I had a buyer who won a card last week. He wanted to cancel transaction 10 minutes after he won it. The reason: it would take too long to arrive.

Pissed me off but all I could do was cancel the transaction and block him.

It's all part of doing business on eBay. Just cancel and move on. But make sure that you block them..

WWJD?

He'd probably get a little pissed off, figure it wasn't worth the effort and do what you did. I guess this is someone to throw on the your list of blocked bidders. You could out the butthead and then everyone on this board could block him. It would be kind of funny if that actually made an impact on the butthead's ebay bidding experience.

If I knew that was going down I might actually get to a national for the first time.

Definitely not worth fighting with them about it. Irrational buyers will just leave you negative feedback if they don't get their way. I pretty much always just let people cancel bids or sales for whatever reason they want. Just relist it. It's not that big of a deal, in my opinion.

I would just cancel it, but also probably add him to my block list. If he did it once, I would bet he'd do it again.

+1

Definitely add him to your blocked bidder list.

LOL, almost anybody whose won a competitive auction got “run up” by somebody.

Wonder what his comfort level for other bidders are. 1 feedback? 2 feedback?

That said, not much you can do about it.
