Feel I've just been screwed.

Tell me if I'm overreacting. I purchased a Psa 10 Trevor Plouffe rookie on eBay 6 days ago. I won the auction for $15.00. I have noticed over the last couple of days that the card has been selling at around the $100 dollar level. The person I won the card from just sent me a full refund through Paypal, so I have my money. The seller states that he is out of stock and cannot find the card on the eBay message. This card was for my personal collection as I really don't sell cards. If this is true and he lost it thats fine and I move on. But he states in the reason box from Paypal that he will "advice in future if the card is found and at the value of the card at that time" any opinions?

Sorry to hear, I'd give a negative for being unable to complete the auction and move on.

Drop a neg. Then remember the card, because that will be a $25 card max in a few months. No offense to Plouffe, but c'mon, we've all seen this play out before.

Email him and tell him that you want the card, and he has 7 days to get it to you or you'll neg him, and follow through with the threat if you don't get it.

I wouldn't even bother trying to negotiate with him. He's earned a neg - maybe he won't be so hasty to renege on a valid sale in the future.

Why did you make another thread in the general chat forum?

eBay could suspend the OPs account for Feedback extortion.

I didn't mean to. Playing with the iPad app.

Neg him......bottom line. He deserves it.

That's not Feedback Extortion, it's trying to complete the purchase. The buyer is giving the seller one more chance to make it right -- the card for the money -- otherwise, he will leave a negative.

This is the complete OPPOSITE of feedback extortion.

neg him and then win another one of his auctions and neg him again!

Then he'll get suspended for abusing the Feedback. Great idea! haha

You can't make him ship you the card and with the return of funds it's pretty much over. Best you can do is neg and block him.

cubfanbudman · Jun 19, 2012

Wow nobody's asked....

What's his eBay id so we can block him!!!

OP's Ebay id is visable. Just search his recent purchases. I'm not posting any info.

I don't know if Ebay would do anything if you had proof in the future, but you could write down the PSA serial number and see if it pops up again.

you can give her a phone call and complain for their service.

Are you talking about the base Bowman Chrome RC? If so, then it is not a $100 card. A BGS 9.5 Gold Refractor just sold for $81 two days ago. The seller might be telling the truth.
