About to leave my first neg ever on eBay

*shrug*

What I think you're being doesn't really matter, now does it?

Simply observing that $10 and/or a single common Morgan probably aren't important enough for ANYONE to be...Richard. That's all.

You are probably the most honorable person on the internet.

 

I think everyone needs to read this.

An obvious mistake was made by the seller and a buyer happened to capitalize on it. The seller should've been more careful.

 

I cannot believe you left negative feedback.

I have told my entire family, and a few friends to have you blocked from bidding or buying on their accounts.

The buyer made an honest mistake. Did you really expect to get a silver dollar for $10?

What if you listed a $1000 coin on eBay, and accidentally listed it for $10, and the buyer was hot that you didn't go ahead and ship it to him?

Mistakes happen. I can see if the buyer sold it for fair price, then cancelled. However this was an honest mistake.

 

Look at it the other way around. I see ebay sellers on here all the time whining about the bad excuses buyers use to 'get out of a transaction'. When buyers come on here asking if they should go through and pay for this or that, with some reason why they didn't intend to buy it, everyone berates them for not honoring their 'commitment'. How can you all expect that as sellers and not advocate the same, equal and opposite reaction? He should have went through with the sale, and the fact that it's already relisted goes to show the seller doesn't give a rip about any buyer he may deal with, regardless of the $ amount of the sale.

Buyers shouldn't have to have ESP and work out reasons why something is listed for less than it should be. CT members brag here all the time about grabbing a BIN right away before it disappears. Why is this scenario different. Merc, I'd neg that guy and not care one way or the other, just like he feels toward his patrons.

 

Detecto you of all people have been in Mercs shoes many times recently and didn't have a gripe as valid as this. c'mon man, if you were in HIS shoes, there'd be a thread on here similar to this. If I were in Merc's shoes, there would be also. I don't see why everyone is sticking up for some unknown seller, admittedly a 'new' seller, who probably had to open a new acct. after being banned for skimping people before.

 

Merc actually did make this mistake before, and e did te honorable thing and went through with it. That is what the seller should have done.

 

I figure that the seller made a misstake, he should pay the consequence, he is only losing 50 bucks or so. The seller had it listed for a while before the OP bought it, so maybe next time he will do a little proof reading. As far as giving a neg, so what, it is not even close to crucifying a seller, if a seller does not get a neg for not honoring his terms of the deal, he probably will do it over and over.

And any flea bay sellers, please feel free to block me from buying from you, I do not buy and sell on that venue, and I think the hobby would be much better off without it, it was ebay that facilitated the tons of counterfeits flooding the hobby from China.

I would tell the seller to be a man and honor the terms of his deal.

 

Karma is like a rubber band, you can only stretch it so far, before it comes back and snaps you in the face.

 

That's right! And we ALL do. Apparently, the general attitude reflects that it is ok for sellers to do as they please as far as honoring a sale, whereas buyers are bound in chains and must follow through.

When a buyer makes a mistake, he has to chalk it up to 'experience' 'education', whatever. Apparently sellers are above that, and do their learning for free.

 

I think the buyer is in the right in that hypothetical situation.
If I made a mistake that big, I would contact the buyer and if he was understanding then I dodged a bullet, if not then I have to uphold my end of the contract I entered when I put the item up for sale.

I review all my listings multiple times before listing. Then after it is listed I go to the auction page immediately just to make sure there are no mistakes.

 

Bottom line is that the seller THROUGH THEIR OWN ACTION listed a real bargain and has the obligation to follow thru on the sale.
If they don't, then a neg is warranted as well as filing a complaint about seller non-performance with eBay.
If I was the seller, I'd chalk it up to a fairly inexpensive lesson learned and honor the deal.

 

And that is exactly what sellers should do. I preview everything before I list an item,and I still go back and check. I have already had other people check over my listings just to make sure. Ever since I got screwed out of $100 on an iPhone I am a bit more careful.

 

So in your sense of logic people are supposed to sell something at 1/3 of it's realistic price because they made a mistake.

Let's make a life example.

Let's say you have a yardsale.

You have a $30 lawnmower you are selling. Your wife asks "how much do I put on it?". You have to leave to go do something, so you tell her "put thirty on it".

Your wife mishears you, and puts three dollars on it.

You come back, sit down, and see someone wheeling the mower to the table and pulling out 3 dollars. You give him a puzzled look and say "I'm asking 30 dollars for it." The guy says "you have 3 dollars on it".

Then you say "it was a mistake, my wife must of misheard me".

The man then gets upset, and demands that you sell him the mower for three dollars. After all, you did have it price it at 3 dollars.

Since you won't sell it to him, in a fit of rage he flips your entire table over. Drinks, notebook, cashbox, and all.

Any person with a teaspoon of chivalry will realize it was a mistake and not worry about it.

 

I agree with The coingeezer, elijahenry, and tmoney eagles.
Its the sellers fault and they should have to pay the consequences.
When you make a mistake in the real world nobody is their to give you a second chance. Live and learn from your mistakes and move on.
Ignore the others, leaving a negative is well justified especially if he had the nerve to relist the coin minutes after

 

YES, that is precisely it!

 

There is a difference between an advertised price and the price something is sold for. If my 'wife' had the price marked as $3, I could always say that I don't want to sell it. If she had already sold it, there is nothing you can do but go through with the deal. It's about honoring deals already made.

 

I doubt there is a person on this forum who hasn't been given a second chance at one time or another. And I mean in the real world. You don't have to get punched in the face to learn from a mistake.

 

This example is pointless, flat out idiotic and explains the reason police exist-(to protect people who try to flip other peoples tables)
All your post does is justify and support Darwin's theory of evolution; a wife selling lawnmowers for 3 dollars.

 

Since when is a purchase a contract? Merc bought the item, he did not win in in an auction.

A bid is a legally binding contract, a purchase is not.

A seller has no legal or policy requirement to go through with the sale on buy it now listings.
So in your sense, if you went to a dealership, and saw a BRAND NEW car for $2000 and come to find out the heat made one of the 0 stickers fall off, then the dealer should honor the price?
