Hi guys,
I recently won a couple of auctions from an Ebay seller. I was able to bid on the items at the last seconds from the end and managed to win them for a good deal.
After I sent a request total message to the seller, he replies back that there were bidders who were not able to bid towards the end which is why many of his items ended for not much.
I sent him a friendly message to let him know that out of the 3 auctions that I won, there were 2 that were important to me and if we could conclude the transaction, I would be grateful as I depended on these items to complete a collection that I was going to review on youtube (which is true by the way).
This morning I just received a strange message from him, not only apologizing, but that he will be re-listing the items because Ebay had system crashes resulting in a loss for him. Ebay actually told him to cancel any item ending after a certain time, in this case all my winnings. Is that feasible? It sounds rather fishy.
And do system crashes happen nowadays on Ebay? I'm under the impression that the seller is regretting the outcome of his auctions, but I don't want to be rash.
I really wanted those figures but now I feel like the deal was too good to last. It seems that I wasted my time and I should probably look elsewhere. I was looking at expressing my genuine disappointment to the seller and/or leaving negative feedback which I didn't have to do since a very very long time ago, but I still don't know if that will change anything...
I'm quite disappointed but this will pass I tell myself.
