In Reply to: Bad ebay seller................ posted by RedGrant on July 26, 2011 at 18:32:45:
I listed a preamp that should have sold for hundreds of dollars on Ebay. I mistakenly set it up as a BIN for $5.95, instead of an auction with $5.95 as the opening bid. (that's very easy to do on Ebay) A buyer snatched it up in five minutes, before I discovered my error. I refused to sell the preamp for $5.95. Although I refunded his payment, he felt entitled to buy the unit for $5.95.
A reasonable buyer would have recognized that it was an error and let me out of the deal. He wanted to take advantage of my error to get something for nothing. It became my only Neg FB with over 3,000 Pos.
He is now blocked from buying any of my listings.
