OO_LALA Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 WTF is this aboutI won an item and it clearly says I'm the winner, even asking me to pay for item. I get an email reply, (after sending the t@sser an email for contact details and address for collection), saying he is not letting me have the item for that price as he put a reserve on it (where, as it never came up reserve not met) He says he has re listed and it came up with the reserve although it hasn't on the one I've won.Question is peeps what do I do? I am going to report this to eBay but has anybody had a similar experience and what was the outcome.Cheers Drew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobjam74 Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 i just got slated by harvey on scoobynet as i took an item off ebay because i had a better offer which i think is fair as anyone can ask if i will take a sum to end early but i cant stand tossers that let it end and then dont let the item go now that i wont do i will let somthing go for what ever it sells for at the end weather im happy or not with the price now thats ebay , he should have started it at a price he was not willing to below not hope that it meets a figure and if it dont then sod the buyer thats not right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO_LALA Posted January 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Yeah , he's saying he had put a reserve on it (probably in his head) as clearly he hasn't and eBay is saying I've won the item and it needs paying for. I must say tho it's a cash on collection item so paypal aren't involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyspud Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've never bought anything off e-bay.My brother once won an auction for a signed George Best shirt.the seller then did a runner with the money and he had to get pay-pal to sort it all out.

Ayesy Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Name the seller and report to ebay, at least the complaint will be logged with ebay if he repeats the escapade with anyone else Bl**dy people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO_LALA Posted January 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 I've emailed eBay and now they are dealing with it, although they say they can't tell me what they're gonna do or have done, so we'll see. Annoyed in one way but relieved in another cos I don't have to fork out as much as it was.On the plus side too is that I found a brand new and better item for less :mad2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
