Some ebay buyers are too bent on getting a "steal"

JVC said:

I've always gotten the emails sneakily asking if the card is something more than it is being advertised as, i.e. you list a Bowman Chrome card and the buyer asks "if the card has a serial # on the back" to see if it is actually a refractor.

This time the buyer wasn't even subtle about his attempt to get a steal. I sold a base Bowman Chrome auto from 2004 and immediately after the auction ends, I receive an email from the buyer:

"Is this card a refractor? If it isn't then I don't need it."

Clearly, if I list a card as a base chrome, show a picture of a base chrome, do not mention "refractor" anywhere in my auction description and the card sells for exactly what a base chrome card should sell for, what the hell would give you the idea that the card is a refractor? The worst part is that there is nothing I can do but request that the buyer cancel the transaction and relist the card.

Wait the time allowed to file a NPB on him. Ebay can see his email to you and see that it is buyers remorse. Is it something you can relist and get the same amount for?

I just decided to cancel the transaction. It's not worth getting someone mad at you and then trying to win all of your auctions just to leave you negs. I should be able to get just as much by relisting it but it pushes back the sale by at least 2 weeks. Just unnecessary hassle.

Were there any other bidders that you could do a second chance offer to? Maybe that would be a way to go.

Have you ever heard of blocking bidders? If so add this idiot to your block list. Don't let them dictate how you sell on ebay and don't let them off the hook.
