I am trying to finish Night Striker. I recently purchased 2 shells (one of which came with a few parts) on ebay and had good luck. Then this weekend I won an auction for many parts for only $39 shipped. I was really happy... I mean really stoked about it!
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices I usually email the seller right after I pay, telling them I paid, and asking them nicely to please package it securely. This guy responds by refunding my money and telling me it was an old listing from a year ago and that he doesn't have anymore. ????? I still don't get that part. He has sold several of these lots in the past... as recently a 12-17-11 sold a larger lot of Night Striker parts for $92. So my question is, how do I handle this? I almost feel like the price was not high enough for him and he said too bad. I told him I was upset and that I was sorry, but that I would need to talk to ebay about it. He made it seem like his actions were perfectly fine and according to him "Your welcome to cry about it as much as you want from a mountain top if you like. Let alone tell Ebay. OOOOHHHH!" I know there are many guys on here that have a lot of experience using Ebay. Any thoughts on how I should handle it? Thanks in advance! |

post a review on his page about the transaction and provide feedback on the auction.
Forward his email to eBay letting them know what happened and how the other lots sold for much higher. Lastly, keep tabs and if he posts the same auction with the same pictures again report it to eBay in a follow up. Other than that, not much you can do. I purchased a 1985 GI Joe Commando Attack board game for .99 cents plus 8.00 shipping and the guy refunded it and said it wasn't available...guy just didn't want to give it away for starting auction price. eBAy didn't do anything about it. Smart guy though...he pulled all the images from Photobucket so you can't look at meta data to see when the pictures were taken... Last edited by WVMojo; 01-04-2012 at 11:01 AM.. |

That's a tricky one. I think as long as he refunds all of your money, there is not much you can do about it other than negative feedback.

I was watching that auction and that was a great end price for you. Something similar happened to me a couple of years ago where I won a few vintage figures from the same seller for $.99 each. He got back to me and told me that he mistakenly shipped them to someone else the week before and hoped to get them back. Well, he didn't and sent me an ebay message asking to confirm that I agreed to cancel the purchases so he didn't get hit with the ebay fees. I refused, so he had to pay the minimal fees, and I left bad feedback for each transaction. There was nothing else I could do. In the feedback, I did say that I suspected that the auction end price was too low and he was just backing out. Maybe he was telling the truth, but if it was, it was still his fault.

Hey Justin... I think I read that feedback on his page. I really appreciate you telling me that. It makes it seem like this is the way he does things.

I won an auction for about 30 Joes with a realy low final price. The seller admitted he wasn't selling them for the final price and refunded me. While there isn't a lot you can do except leaving negative feedback it is worth opening a dispute.
Its a pretty open and closed case when they refund straight away so they will get a negative selling strike. The only problem is, unless they get another strike within 3 months, then it'll count for nothing.
