-Mongrel- Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 So, I have won something on Ebay at a very sensible price. The seller reckons ebay are cancelling the transaction as an ebay glitch allegedly prevented him uploading photos. Thing is, I messaged him yesterday and there was no mention of this. I reckon he's just ****** off as it didn't make enough money. Anyone know where I stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Complain to Ebay and then it should be yours as they normally find in the buyers favour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryman Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I have found that a lot of sellers on Ebay are getting very greedy. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Trouble is it's a truck, not like he's going to post it! I have to agree to cancel the transaction but don't really see what's to be gained by refusing to do so. I can't make him sell it to me.

countryman Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just tell him to shove it and move on, its not worth the hassle, there will be something else that will come along. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RED BEARD Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 he's probably found someone private that will pay what you've bid (or more) and he's trying to get out of having to pay the seller fee.don't cancel and contact ebay.

-Mongrel- Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 I'm aware that I'm unlikely to get the truck but I don't see why the a-holes of this world should get away with acting like...well, a-holes! If he has to pay seller fees or the like it may make him think twice about backing out of a future sale! All I want is a serviceable Disco for the winter ***!

Malik Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) If the sale doesn't go through. Is it not possible to leave a bad review/feedback? Its not much i know. But seeing recent negative activity may raise a few potential eBayers eyebrows and they might avoid the seller Edited September 17, 2013 by Malik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Right! After a marathon phone session with ebay, it's resolved. I declined the cancellation request, which means he'll still be charged the final value and listing fees. I can if I so choose leave negative feedback still, and ebay are going to 'take action' against the seller. What that means, I have no idea! However, it may mean he'll think twice on how he lists things or behaves in future! Just as a point of interest, he messaged me offering to sell it to me for £120 more than I won it at....not that he wanted more money for it or anything! I declined that as well.
