Crooked Ebay Seller

[steve B]

File a complaint for them being a nonperforming seller. It may take a phone call, but that's what I did when Historicauctions backed out of an auction I'd won. It took a bit of time for the good till closed items to finish, but they were suspended. Ebay does care, especially if the seller sells the item outside Ebay. Historicauctions were actually silly enough to put in an email sent through Ebays system that they had sold the item before it closed and didn't remove the auction. Looks like this guy is trying to sell outside Ebay, a complaint should get him a "vacation" at least.

What a loser. All he wanted to do was hold out for a higher price, AFTER making a mistake. So, now he is kissing your ... with a 150.00 guilt payment? He still got 550 more net than the 500 he would have got from you.

Bottom line, he was still breaking a contract and dishonest, mistakes need to be avoided w common sense.

Sorry Jim it didn't come out better, but least you got the extra bucks.

Yeah, bummer not getting the glove, but not so bad being up$150. I think if the place that backed out on me had offered 150 extra I'd have probably taken it and not gone through the hassle of reporting them. All they offered was free shipping on some sketchy overpriced autographs.

That sucks, but either way you were def entitled to that glove. I will look out for the seller, appreciate the feedback.
