What is worse, seller's remorse or shill bids??

[savedfrommyspokes]

After initially indicating that the three card transaction was canceled due to a "technical error" (LOL), I asked this seller what the tech error was and got this response:

"The initial listing price was incorrect which is why we had to take it down in the first place. There were other internal issues with similar cards from this particular batch and we didn't know at the time if these cards would be relisted or not as there were errors with many of those cards. We understand your frustration and we apologize but unfortunately there is nothing we can do."

Here is my translation of the seller's message:

The initial listing price for these auction listings, which has nothing to do with the final auction results, was incorrect which is why we had to take it down (or in words everyone else understands, cancel the transaction after the listings ended) in the first place. There were other internal issues with similar cards from this particular batch and we didn't know at the time if these cards would be relisted or not as there were errors with many of those cards. We obviously don't understand your frustration with our admitted seller's remorse, but unfortunately there is nothing we can do as we refuse to stand behind our auction results and exhibit any sign of integrity, much less follow ebay's TOS. At least we did not shill bid any auctions you bid in.

I can't make this stuff up.
