I thought I would share with you what happened in a transaction on ebay I had this weekend.
I won a batch of 24 loose figures in okay / played with condition with no weapons and no rare figures from ebay seller: summerball73 for £21 in total. I paid almost straight away.
Then the next day I receive a refund for the full payment, with a comment attached of:
"I am refunding your payment as there should of been a reserve on the item i was selling. so i shall be re selling item properly due to the error the first time. sorry about this. "
I am pretty disappointed in this so rather than just leaving it at that, I send the following message, which I thought would get a reply one way or the other:
"This is very un-professional, to not want to go through with a transaction because it didn't go for what you wanted. It is against ebay rules and should be reported. To be honest you won't get much more for 24 loose figures with no weapons. Your feedback implies that you are a good ebayer so I hope you will reconsider and complete this transaction. Yours faithfully".
Well ... I didn't receive a reply and then noticed the next day she had listed a batch of 85 figures, some of which were from her other auctions that didn't sell and the figures I had won.
I tried to report the item as not received but couldn't because you need to leave 10 days.
I don't think that this is in the spirit of ebay and I would certainly not do this for anything I sell even more especially when we are only taking about a few quid, and also risk negative feedback. To warn others I have left her a negative feedback (Which I am now feeling a bit guilty
about as she did have 100% postive out of 52, and did refund me rather than trying to keep the money as well). To tell the truth I'm not really that upset about not getting the figures, but a bit disappointed that its not what ebay is about.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this before and what did you do?
