My first eBay phallic headed seller !

Been lucky so far to have had a faultless experience on eBay in over 250 deals,
until now.

Been watching a Kindle3g which has sat at £89.99 with no bids. So do my usual
of last couple minute bidding, first outbid, second success at £110 and won it for £89.99 ?????
Assumed the other bid had been retracted or was a banned seller or something.
Paid straight away and then check emails for the receipt etc to find the seller has
opened a Cancelling Purchase case and refunded my money claiming "item misplaced"
Also an email saying
Hi, As you see, i cancelled your first bid due to it being misplaced
but you have bidded again! :/ Please do not pay and accept my cancellation request
please!

Obviously I didn't read the email as I was on eBay at the time.
So do I accept the case and tick the accept box (I assume the transaction gets deleted)
or decline and leave the pillock negative feedback ?

If he genuinely lost it, which I very much doubt, why not just end the auction early ?


ETA
Furthur email saying he has been retracting all bids as can't end auction
in last 12 hours (I didn't know that) and eBay advised him to deal with it this way.

I had something very similar with a graphic tablet, all my bids were cancelled as were others only for it to reappear on ebay a day later at a higher price!!

I reported it but who knows what happens at ebay!!

he's a pillock - give him negative feedback.

You will always get the occasional kn*b like this, that doesn't want to sell at that price.
I had one last year. Escort clutch for £11.99. Refused to sell for that price.
Totall bloody time-wasters.

Ebays full of them. If they have a minimum price they should set reserves.

...or set the starting price to the minimum you will accept (again, involves thinking, but not additional fees )

Is there such a word as "bidded"? It just sounds wrong

edit:- It should be bidden

[Edited on 17/10/11 by Peteff]





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Isn't bidden the past tense of bid as in 'do as you were bidden', not bid as in make an offer to purchase?

"Bid again" would have been more correct.

There are good sellers and bad sellers I am afraid.

I bought an IPAD2 on Thursday and paid straight away, got the thank you very much email and item marked as dispatched on the Friday plus an email from paypal informing me of a refund of part of the postage from the buyer as the postage was less than he thought it would be.
Great I thought thats a good seller and fair too boot. I was then thinking great I might have it in my hands by Monday but oh no, Sunday morning email from paypal to say that the full amount has now been refunded for the item with no explanation. Tried contacting the seller but no response surprise surprise.
The bit that I cannot understand is the partial postage refund in the first place???
Now I have got to wait on my funds to be returned by paypal before I can go and look for another one!!!!!

Isn't it a legal requirement to sell once a bid has been accepted?
