<p>[QUOTE=&quot;stldanceartist, post: 1958379, member: 13307&quot;]I would offer that you both are at fault in this situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>You, for winning an eBay auction, then waiting 4 days for the <b>seller</b> to contact <b>you</b> to find out you wanted to wait 2 weeks to pay for the item.&nbsp; If you cannot pay for an item, you might reconsider bidding on that item.&nbsp; If you anticipate something &quot;coming up&quot; (and I fully realize that &quot;life&quot; causes occasional mishaps like this to occur) then it is <b>your</b> responsibility to contact the seller.&nbsp; If the seller isn&#039;t cool with waiting 2 1/2 to 3 weeks for payment, then at least they know about it and perhaps your bids can be withdrawn.&nbsp; But at least they know, and at least they feel like you were proactive in the situation...so if you <b>do</b> win, you will pay when you say you&#039;ll pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the second scenario, if I were a seller with an item in an auction-style format that had bids, there is <b>no way</b> I would take those items with me to a coin show and trade them.&nbsp; I will not defend the seller&#039;s actions here, but given the circumstances, I think the seller did the only thing possible - refund your money.</p><p><br /></p><p>From what you have posted, and keeping in mind you didn&#039;t post everything you said, it does seem like they tried to be polite and honest with you.&nbsp; eBay is stacked up against the seller in many situations, so it&#039;s a dangerous road to actually be honest with someone who can leave an undeserved negative feedback for no good reason.&nbsp; <b>One person</b> can kill your Top-Rated Seller status (this happened to me) and that translates into the loss of a 20% discount on fees...<b>real money</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were the seller, depending on what you said and how you said it, I would have probably blocked you after the first adventure.&nbsp; It seems that you learned from this, as you paid immediately after the second auction win, but to place the blame entirely on the seller is a little irresponsible, IMO.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
