OT- Question for EBAY Experts.

[Randracula]

I just won an item today that I was going to give my wife for Mothers Day. I paid for it via PayPal about 3:30 p.m. today.I was just looking at my PayPal account and the seller refunded my payment Just wondering if this has happened to anyone here?

 

[francric]

Never heard of that.............did he send you a note saying why?? If you won, it's yours....If it's something that you must have, you need to take it up with him and then ebay if he doesn't give you a good answer....but me thinks that's a bunch of BS

 

[Randracula]

I sent a message but haven't heard back yet.....

Hey Randy, what is your avatar or maybe I should be asking who?

 

[Randracula]

That's one of the "Singing Busts" from the Haunted Manision .........

Anyone that refunded your payment is honest. Now to understand why?

Mabye they didn't like my Amer. Express card? Mabye I should just try an instant transfer from my bank account?

I have heard some folks only take VISA.

Also, the basic paypal accounts don't take credit cards at all. Double-check his listing to see if it mentions anything more specific.

That would be the most likely thing I can think of.

Did he think that he would get more money for the item and wants to try again?

Haven't heard of that before, Randy.

My weirdest was selling something and shipping it out, only to have it shipped right back to me with no explanation of anything.

That would be my guess............but at least an explanation would be nice........

How about an auction link.

This is the most likely explanation. If he has the basic account, he'd have to upgrade and lose 2.9% in fees to accept cc payments. But, you should be able to send from a checking account without any problem.

But, who knows.

Good luck!

Here's the link.....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6878529631&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1
I got an e-mail saying that my payment was refunded because the item was not in stock When I won the item the seller had 3 BIN auctions for the same product!!I'm pissed I needed these by Friday.I sent the seller a reply e-mail so we'll see what happens........

Honest seller...poop happens. At least they refunded your bucks.

But how could they have 3 BIN auctions going for the same product if they didn't have any stock?

Easily done with an automated listing program like Turbolister.

Anyone who doesn't take your money is not a thief.

Sucks not to get what you pay for but it sucks more to pay for something you don't get.

IMHO

I had this happen on half.com but the only pisser was I used a $5 online coupon & once it was used I couldn't use it again to buy from another seller.
