eBay 1st for me, so I need someone to....

ChasHawk · Sep 1, 2009

....confirm my suspicions. I hit the BIN on this and paid on Saturday.

[ebay:3nebruf6]350246111363[/ebay:3nebruf6]

Today, i get this message from the seller

i am sorry but this card was mistakenly listed twice i will refund you bruce

Problem is, there is no other listing. Now I could very well be wrong here,
but my gut feeling is the seller got a better offer and sold the card elsewhere.
Anything I can do if this is true?

You can't really do anything except leave a negative. You can't make the seller send you the item.

That's what I thought. Thank you.

Do you think my assumption is correct?

Pretty much. The only other thing you can do is contact ebay and let them know of your suspicions and that there was no other listing. They're pretty pissy when people dodge their fees.

If you can't find the 2nd auction I would come to the same conclusion as you have. Especially at $5.99 for that card, that's would have been an amazing price for that card.

That's why I hit the BIN

A crisp shiny negative is an amazing solution to this problem.

But just don't go half-way and l leave a neutral.

Perhaps...
"Seller refused to ship item after selling too cheaply. What a clown!"

Sounds about right to me, Mike. I'm waiting to see if he responds to eBay message.

You guys are ridiculous. You really are. The guy has 2,100+ items listed....he is MAYBE human.....maybe in his turbo lister he forgot to check the inventory......blow up his rating for a human error? Please don't buy any items from me.

Agreed. If there was a 2nd listing, then I would understand, as mistakes happen to everyone.

But what do I know? I'm just an uninvolved party jamming my opinion down other people's throat on a message board :lol:

That stinks, man. Sick card and excellent price. Probably lying about having 2 cards but who knows. Probably not worth the time it would take to ask for scans or a link ot the other auction. You've ogt more important matters to tend to at the moment me thinks

This does not appear to be a simple case of re-running an old auction. Considering Charlie collects Dawson almost exclusively, it's doubtful that this seller previously listed a this Dawson for $5.99, let alone re-ran it in error.

No doubt, the seller made a mistake and listed it incorrectly, and then reneged on his obligation as a seller...but again, I'm a pessimist.

No what's ridiculous is the guy that has daily ebay problems piping in. The seller did not list it twice, he listed it once and messed up by putting in the wrong amount for his BIN. Seller's remorse pure and simple, he deserve's a negative for that. Maybe had he manned up and tried to work out a deal after confessing his mistake would a negative not be warranted.

LOL, dude get off your high horse.

MAYBE the guy listed it on August 1st, then accidently listed it again September 1st.......due to ebay's search history there is NO WAY to look it up if it is past 2 weeks. Someone who lists OLD cards (not 2009) and lists 2100+ of them at a time should receive the benefit of the doubt is what I am saying.

You will be eating crow when he says "here is the transaction # from May 15th" and look like a retard.

This coming from the guy who complains about shipping prices and brags about "crushing DSRs"

What's your eBay ID? Just something I've been curious about for a while now. Thanks.
