A few minutes late I bought this one for $25...

So sometimes it turns out ok, but that first guy is still an ***hole.

You should have told the seller to his face that he was an ***hole, and then dared him to do anything about it.

Is this the same card that was the subject of a thread earlier today indicating "congrats to somebody on ebay"? The thread has since been edited and the content removed.

I always thought a closed on auction on ebay was a binding contract. What does ebay do to winning bidders that don't follow through on a purchase?

If I were the family that consigned through the seller, I'd be concerned because who knows what else is going to be sold under priced.

They say that but I don't believe that's the case. I've had buyers not pay it's not clear to me that they do anything. Supposedly they give them an "unpaid item strike" (whatever that means) but there doesn't seem to be much transparency around that.

After hitting ‘Buy-It-Now’ and sending payment for a card, you receive a message informing you the seller has cancelled the transaction and refunded your money...and you know full well it’s because someone contacted this unscrupulous seller and offered him more money for the card.

I told him considerably more than that...
