I've had sellers renege on deals when they didn't get what they'd hoped for/ expected - unfortunately that's the nature of auctions. likewise, glad you got sorted. Surely if you've a figure in mind when listing it on the Bay then you put a reserve on it? Dicey character indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he got a higher offer after the end of the sale and thought he'd try his luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I'm afraid as the years go by, F*ckbay has been infested with w@nkers. Sellers and buyers. Last w@nker i entailed ( last week ) was someone i bought some clothing from. I bought it for the price it was listed at. Waiting for the postie to turn up, and after 6 days, i get an email saying i was refunded by Paypal. Ebay also messaged to say the reason i was refunded was because i asked the buyer to cancel the auction. Since there was no messaging between us, i called Ebay ( in fact they called me ) and i said check the messaging between me and the seller, because there was none. So she checked this and agreed he lied. There was no such cancellation by me. The feedback option disappeared after i was refunded , so i pointed this out. What they'll do about it is anyone's guess. Bugger all i suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called them and had Paypal not refunded they would have initiated a process but seeing as PP have agreed to refund, they have said to let it run its course. Any glitch along the way and they will step in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
