Negative left already, OP does not need more advice on that, I imagine, and no one here will change their opinion.

I believe when its obvious there was a mistake, doesn't matter who made it, seller or buyer, they should try and solve it before leaving feedback.

BTW, if seller ignored buyer message and just relisted an item without trying to resolve it, he deserves the neg.

 

If a guy made a mistake. Which he obviously did then just let it go dude. He just made a mistake. Sounds like you're p'oed you weren't able to screw him. Get a life.

 

I do not think anyone said the seller should be punched in the face, just that a negative feedback explaining the seller did not honor the terms of his sale is sufficient. The seller can then say he listed a Morgan for the wrong price and did not realize his mistake until when the buyer bought it.

 

you dont have to do anything you dont want to do. I could care less if I got a negative feedback. I got them before and i will get them again. It doesnt bother me. you people care to much about feedback. If i see a coin i want and the seller has horrible feedback, I'll roll the dice cause of buyer protection. feedback is meaningless

 

Too many negative feedbacks will cause the seller to loose their selling privileges.

 

ouch that sellers feedback is now at 94.1% Well this really is just about whose opinion is right, and here, as with most cases, all are. (Someone should offer her a price of $9.95 as like a buy it now and see what happens )

 

This situation and your example are not interchangeable.
I find that extremely difficult to believe. Going by what you have put in bold I can list anything I want for any price I want and not go through with the deal on any of my transactions and that would be perfectly ok.

So the seller should be able to screw the buyer?

The guy made a mistake and should have to pay for his mistake by going through with the deal.

 

Ive seen sellers with over 50 negs. its all about money. if your making money for ebay they wont block you

 

email her and say I was going to bid on your coins but your feedback is so low.

 

How did the seller "screw the buyer"?

The buyer is trying to screw the seller, by demanding that he sell something for way under cost.

 

These were apparently inherited making the cost of the item zero dollars, buddy.

I am not screwing anybody, I just thought I snagged a good deal. The seller is screwing me and if you don't see/understand that, you should probably figure out who lobotomized you and sue them.

 

Well - at this point it should not surprise anybody about anything on ebay. Either buying or selling anything goes as far as complaints. Oh - and by the way you screwed up the negative feed back. It says "Buyer refused to go through with transaction".

 

He listed it for way under what it was worth, and the item sold. I think if the seller makes the mistake he is at the buyer's mercy.
I don't understand how a seller can be free to do whatever he or she pleases and not have any repercussions for it. I'm glad a negative feedback was left, even if it was a mistake, because that is the only other way the seller could've payed for the mistake he made.

I guarantee the seller will never make the same mistake.

I sell on eBay, and I would never put myself in that situation due to how cautious I am before listing. Everyone should be that way.

Oh that's hysterical!

 

I foresee a closed thread...over a 10 dollar transaction in which the buyer didn't lose. And quite frankly, wouldn't have gained much out of it either.

 

LOL, just noticed it... talking about NOT making mistakes while on eBay...

 

Good god wait till you get something serious like not getting an item or deadbeats who don't want to pay after bidding. IMO this is a question NOT of law/policy enforcement but of ethics. Ethically the seller should go through with the transaction and as many said learn from the experience. I did something similar on another site but sent it anyway and learned a lesson. Always check you work. Obviously the seller is not ethical (then again 95% of the business world isn't take ebay itself for example) should they get a negative feedback..no, do you have legal recourse...no, will ebay do anything about for you..no. The seller has done nothing wrong legally, contractually, or otherwise. My advice is let it be you got the refund and just don't buy from that seller ever again simple as that.

 

Merc, I don't think many people would deny the fact the seller behaved in an undesirable manner. Also, most people would agree you have the right to respond in the manner you did.

If I were in your situation, though, the question I would ask myself is: "Is having or not having another Morgan to add to my stash really going to make that big of a difference in my life?" It seems pretty insignificant relative to a lot of other things.

 

Yes, it looks like a mistake since he was selling something for $10 with a melt value over twice that.

 

Detecto. You want to talk about confounded logic. Here's yours: You respond to my post with some drivel about a yard sale, which is not binding in any way. And for the record, anyone comes on my property and destroys my property by flipping a table WILL get laid out. no discussion.

Then, after using a non-auction scenario (yardsale) for an example of a commitment, you go on to say that prices marked wrong in an actual place of business (car dealership) is not? Real logical

Fact is, a labeled sticker price is just that. THE price. We can liken the OP scenario to any hypothetical we want in order to try to lessen the responsibility of the seller. That doesn't mean the hypothetical situation is valid.

This kind of thing would never fly at a coin shop. Any dealer consistantly operating like this would be out of business FAST.
