Bloc Riff Nut Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I just placed the winning bid for a Trace Elliot V6 with 585 pounds. I was of course extatic, but when I mailed the seller to ask about postage he replied with.... hmmmm,I was expecting it to go for 200 more, I'm not sure I want to sell it. I wasn't expecting that, I'm absolutely gutted :-( Oh well, back to the Markbass Cmd 102P. Or should I offer him a few quid more (that I really can't spare).

stingrayPete1977 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I would email eBay he should of put a reserve or listed it as a classified add, You could message him first and ask for it to be relisted for £50 more or take a chance with a deal direct but then your both breaking eBay rules if you value your own account?

lemmywinks Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Pay via paypal now, then go collect your new amp! don't pay any extra, he's entered a contract to sell it for that price, if he's not happy with it then unlucky, perhaps he should have set a reserve. if he's an ebay noob then inform him of the rules. It's not his choice whether to sell or not, it's already sold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloc Riff Nut Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm in Holland and he's in Yorkshire, so picking it up is not really an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Well at least he backed out before you paid him. He obviously doesn't know how Ebay works. Tell him to put it up again with a reserve price next time. If nobody offers the price he wants he may decide to cut his losses and let you have it.

He has no excuse for not knowing the rules.

stingrayPete1977 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 (edited) Did you declare this before bidding and was there a uk bidders only in the listing? I had this a while ago after the buyer bid from portugal when it was clearly uk bids only, paid up quick via paypal expecting the postage to be the same! It's the same when you list as pickup only then you see the winner is miles away and await the " our daughter is at uni can we get it in a few months while we are passing?" or similar crap.

JTUK Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'd quite like to know how this all finished..as in whether more money was exchanged, but accept it isn't my business so if the OP doesn't want to say, that is fair enough.
