Worst Ebay seller experience8701

I showed my wife and she was so happy for me she started to cry. Batman66 private msg quote post Address this user
So 2 Sunday's ago I won a hulk 180 with the mark jewelers incert at auction Jurassic-coast-comics in the UK. I get a notification from the seller to pay, it was only 8 hours after the auction ended, I told him I thought I had 2 days to pay, and there wasn't any information on the auction stating to pay within 24 hrs. (I use cash to load my paypal account to stay off the grid for tax purposes) I would pay at the end of day Monday or Tuesday morning at the latest.then he informed me there was slight rust on the staples, no big deal. The last conversation I had with him was at 1 am, got up for work at 5, he canceled my order. Told me it wasn't fair to me the book had slight rust on staples, he would resist it and I would get a better deal, which I told him I did not want to cancel. But it was too late. I was happy originally to pay under 900 for it, so I wasn't happy he canceled. So I won the book again the next Sunday for 1250. Not happy but I really wanted that book. He said I had 24 hours to pay, 18 hours later he canceled again. WHAT THE HELL. Needless to say I won't be doing business with Jurassic-coast-comics and hopefully you won't or don't either

You can still leave him a neg - actually you can leave him 2 times - once for each time he cancelled. Make sure factual

Hate to hear that, with large purchases like that sellers have to realize that sometimes buyers might need around 24 hours to get the money ready for said purchase.

I doubt this has anything to do with paying quickly as the seller was willing to wait another week to run second auction. it's more of a deceptive sales tactic to "price" the book and get top dollar. he should be banned and fined..Id also (not knowing policy) reach out to ebay and see if they can force the original sale based on unethical practices and maybe fraud since the guys using Ebay's services in a way I bet ebay would not appreciate.

@Watcher while I agree with you that it would great to complain to eBay - Don’t think ebay would proceed. Only option left is neg fb.

I did complain to eBay and they were supposed to mark his account with two infractions . They read thru the messages back and forth and they sided with me. I left two negative feedbacks, sense they were technically not purchases he had them removed. I'm disappointed with outcome.

@CatCovers
If you go to your PayPal app, go to add money. It's will give you the option too add cash thru7 eleven, rite aide. CVS etc.the app will generate a bar code and show that to the clerk. You can add 500 dollars per day and it
Will cost $3.95to add cash

@sportshort Ebay told me if they do, the seller gets an infraction. 3 infractions they get fined or eBay can suspend their account. But I don't think they did anything to this seller

I guess we use the tools we're given...have your boys make a handful of small purchases from him and slam his feedback each time

You had it right the first time he canceled on you. Just move on lesson learned. I have won a couple auctions where I wasn't happy with the seller. I just never buy from them again. This happened to you weeks ago and your still dealing with it. Good luck

Currently dealing with a seller who sold me a book with a married cover. So far, he's being reasonable.

My worst experience was with a seller who sold me an $18 total purchase. He shipped in a plan manilla folder. No bag, but with a board. The guy actually opened a complaint on me claiming that I swapped out the book and replaced it with a rag copy. I sent eBay my pictures of the package arriving wrecked to me along woth the crinkled book. It went my way. I've only got my balls and my word in this life. Why would I try to swindle someone out of $18? I'd have to really look for the seller name but it was a guy in Illinois.
