<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 668536, member: 16948&quot;]I understand that you are posting this story to highlight the seller&#039;s good deed in following through with the deal even in light of their mistake, but when I read your story, I had to do a doubletake when you said you made the seller stick to the deal.&nbsp; I give big huge kudos to that seller for being professional about the whole transaction, that does say a lot for them.&nbsp; But I don&#039;t understand why you didn&#039;t do the same thing?</p><p><br /></p><p>I buy a lot on Ebay and, had the seller simply not set a reserve and the coin sold for a really low price, that would be on the seller and I would expect them to go through with the deal (I once actually had a seller refuse to sell me a coin for this very reason).&nbsp; However, when the seller immediately notified you that they made a mistake, I would have understood and let them out of the deal, as I thought you were going to say you did.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a bidder, haven&#039;t you ever entered an extra digit by accident&nbsp; when you placed a bid as you mentioned in your scenario?&nbsp; I have, and I immediately notified the seller that I made a typo, and they quickly cancelled my bid for me.&nbsp; Mistakes do happen, and particularly when they are caught quickly, I feel we all (both buyer and seller) should do the right thing, instead of trying to get a great deal.&nbsp; Because if it hasn&#039;t happened already, the shoe WILL be on the other foot and you will be grateful that the other side doesn&#039;t take advantage of your mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
