zach1845 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Just wondering if you guys think It would be fair of me to leave a negative in this circumstance i won this item http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=150324282912 I paid immediatley after the auction ended did not hear anything from the seller. Im expecting to get the games in the mail. He then refunds me 4 days later and says the games didnt go as high as he wanted (there was no reserve) so he kept the money for 4 days without telling me what was up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd use negative feedback as the first step. If I had a lot of time and were feeling petty, I'd email anyone that bids on it to let them know about what happened, should he relist it....I don't have that much follow-through, though People on the internet are assholes, I'm finding :-( [not here, mind you] Edited February 14, 2009 by tisaperfectdayelise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 I would not hesitate for a moment to hit this seller with a negative and also let eBay know what the seller did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yes, neg him and inform ebay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) If I was you I would try to work it out with the seller. The seller has to understand that it is a legally binding contract. I have had some sellers try to pull shenanigans. I have been able to work some of these issues out rather than leave a negative. Leaving a negative is not going to put you in a better situation. It just will leave the seller in a worse situation.

zach1845 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Yea I tried. He relisted the games and said they were worth 250.00 for all four. Which he is way off. Everyone wants over 150.00 for tank command yet none sell that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a mint loose Tank Command about a month ago for $100 USD shipped. I think $100 is right on for a collector condition loose tank command. Played condition $75 tops.

Shawn Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Oh ya and this seller needs a hard negative for pulling such a slimball stunt on you Zach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach1845 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 his responce was Do what you want. I am not perfect. I told you I tried to set a reserve price. I am sure you told both sides of the story where I tried to set a reserve price. I promise you my life will go on wheather you leave negative feedback or not. Maybe I should try to be more like you huh? Doesnt make much sense to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroogur Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 A negative will impact his 100% rating whether he cares or not but more importantly he violated the contract agreement between you two and that is against ebay policy, there is more info at that link i posted earlier in this thread. Too bad if he didn't know how to properly set up the auction it's his responsibility to handle business properly. There are ample tools available to help new sellers do it right and he don't appear to be new. Over 500 transactions and a member since 2002?? i think he knows how to post auctions by now.

IHATETHEBEARS Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I left a negative for someone today - first time doing it. I didn't want to. I've tried for over a month to get the issue resolved. But sometimes you have no other recourse. My seller never sent the item in spite of repeated promises. I think six weeks is long enough to wait. I gave him an ultimatum on Wednesday. He never responded. So today he got the negative. I came to he conclusion that I wasn't going to get my game. So I had nothing to lose. The funny thing is, the fool already left me positive feedback for the auction several weeks ago. Based on his response to you, as well as the fact that he's already relisted the items, it appears he has no interest in honoring the deal, and is practically asking you to leave him a negative remark. I'd give him one last opportunity to do the right thing. And if not, leave the negative. He's earned it.

+poobah Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 this stuff seems to be the latest "ebay curse" I read an auction the other day where the seller had in his description that he retains the right to turn down the highest bid if it isn't high enough. You think ebay would be all over this kinda thing, since they don't get their reserve price listing fee revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerwannabee Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I am amazed that he would have such a screw you attitude with a 100 percent feedback and being a member so long. Almost makes you wonder if the guys account was hijacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost Rice Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Nothing would stop him from creating a new account, buy your stuff and then slamming you with a neg. This is why I use a buying account separate from the selling account. Of course I have not sold since 2006. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
