Wow the new Ebay trick Sellers remorse

Seems there is a new eBay game going on. If you sell a card for not what you want
like .99 cent,(or you miss out on the hype price) then hey don't send the card and wait until they write you and then just refund the money.Without even e-mailing back stating your going to refund. Because there is not tracking info as well, since you did not send it.
I have had this happened twice now to me. I won this 2007 BOWMAN STERLING BLAKE BEAVAN AUTO ROOKIE for .99
no one bid so I won with the opening bid and (had like 5 buck max bid on it). that was back in August 29 and I paid for it
on Sept 1.
So I wrote the seller ask for info on the package since in eBay nothing showed that it was even shipped. So today I see this in the paypal end of this deal Sep. 26, 2009 Refund Pending Details $4.44 USD And I don't even have an
e-mail from the shipper.

This also happened on another card I won it cheap waited a month for it (nothing) so I asked for info and Bam refund
nothing said about it from the shipper. So I know they did not send them since they went for so cheap, and did not even say weather they shipped or not.

Oh ok you can now go back to reading more important threads now!

You need Blake Beavan Sterlings? I've got some.

Doesn't sound like you lost anything.

One of my biggest eBay peeves as of late. Same thing happened to me last month.

Although I actually got a message from the seller telling me someone hacked his acct. to sell me a $10 card. :lol:

Did you read the post? Of course he didn't lose any $$. That's not the point.

4.44 shipped :lol:

Well, the seller does have something to lose. You as the buyer need to leave a negative, and if he gets more of those, then that will hurt his sales.

Yah, you MUST leave a negative. That's the reason why the feedback system was created. It's not "ebay- sell the item at the price you want or just keep it". It doesn't work that way.

Yes and the seller thinks that refunding the money, just makes it right. :lol:

Similar thing happened to me 2 weeks back. I won a lot which included a Laporta BCDP Ref for 99 cents plus shipping, I paid after winning, then next morning already got a refund from the seller, with a note telling me "nice try!"

Now that's bold! You leave a neg?

i doubt their logic applies if you win an item for more than it should go for? do you think they refund the difference from last sale to theirs?

I think it was early this year, I won two very poorly listed items from the same seller. One was the Youkilis GU glove card from Topps Pristine /9?, the other was the A-Rod SP Holoview RC. His shipping was little high, so I emailed him after the items ended to see if he offered a combined shipping rate, then sent a request for a total. Well he messages me that the cards sold too cheap and that he wouldn't sell them to me. Neg'd!

I would have said hey you should have listed them with BIN"S then if your worried about them selling for to low.

A reserve or a high minimum bid would have also worked. What was amazing was that he knew enough that he knew these cards sold cheap, but apparently didn't know enough to list them well at all. It's like some of these items I see with BIN's or minimum bids right at or over market, but they're listed terribly, how does that happen?

No I didnt leave a neg. I wouldve if i was a collector of the cards I was due to receive. I just put my bid down thinking it was a decent deal. I'll never buy from the seller again though.

The only sellers remorse I've ever had was when I sold an item and didn't ship out for 5 days, due to my daughter being sick. Rather than explain why it didn't ship until Saturday when it was purchased Monday, I refunded the shipping cost and sent the item priority. I've since learned to not put "will ship within 24 hours after receiving payment, except on weekends" in my auctions.

You should have. What happens if it happens to another member who does collect what they buy? It eliminates bad sellers by doing so.
