…how do you deal with it and your thoughts in general?
It has now happened to me twice this week. One seller just cancelled me with no explanation. I asked them why (4 items) and they claimed the items couldn't be found and that the scans used were old. The other apologized that it was mislisted and that was all they said. None of the items in both cases have been relisted as of yet. If I saw example #1 realist items, I would certainly be pissed. Example #2 I could understand, especially given the reason I was told.
I realize that this could be discussed many different ways, depending on the true circumstances, although how does anyone really know what the truth is in these cases.
I am not sure if I even have any repercussion opportunities should I wish to go down that route (negative feedback or low ratings). Frankly I am undecided at this point.
Here are my thoughts. Although honest mistakes happen, when you are selling (and buying for that matter, as i have bid on several things w/o reading the listing carefully), you should take your time, review the listing carefully and when you are satisfied, pull the trigger and list it. Make sure the item is as described, that you still have the damn thing and that you are asking the price you want (BIN) or start it at a price you are comfortable with, should it only get 1 bid.
