EBAY Buyer Beware!!!!! Seller: Eagles-vick
EBAY Buyer Beware!!!!! Seller: Eagles-vick
I am looking for feedback on this and to see if there is anything that I can do.......Here is the deal: I attempted to purchase a 2014 Topps Chrome Red Refractor 25/25 Eric Ebron RC for my rainbow (the last card I needed except for the superfractor) from this seller and was the winning bidder. Unfortunately, I had a death in my family that pulled me away from my card for 4 days. The seller posted in his listing that the card would be relisted after four days if payment was not made. I got back from the out of town funeral today and paid my bill as soon as I got home, about 12 hours after his own "rules". Meanwhile, I went into my followed searches and saw that the same exact card was relisted already!!
I contacted the seller and attempted to explain the situation. Here is the conversation:
ME:
Hi...I saw that you posted the same card for resale after I purchased it....I have been out of town dealing with a death in the family and have had a lot of things going on...sorry for the delay....But if you took the time to relist it, you could have taken the time to shoot me a quick message to remind me......I know it is my fault for not getting the payment in quickly and not communicating right away, but my head was in a million places.....
eagles-vick:
Ok first things first, sorry to hear about your loss. Now as far as notifying you about item being relisted and also having the time to shoot you a notice of doing so, well this is your second notice of doing just that. You were notified of the fact that card would relist for failure to pay for item won within listing's stated time frame, even before you won it. You see I have that stated every listing I post on EBAY for this very reason. Ebay has become nothing more than a haven for opening and closing unpaid cases for items won and not being paid for, its completely out of hand and I refuse to participate in what is the driving force of this business going straight down the tubes. Sellers have a lot of time and their hard spent money tied up in this business, to have to chase down money for items purchased by buyers who have no intentions at all to pay for what they've bid for and won and then holding that same item hostage away from others who are willing to pay in an orderly time frame. So, yes the item has been relisted and will stay relisted until it is won and paid for. Your welcome to have at it again and if works out that you are the winning bidder again, we'll just work the money paid so far against it, be it plus or minus yours or my way. I had two others bidders on this item you won, asking for the right to have second chance offer to them. So if all said doesn't suit you, I'll just refund you and life goes on. Don't dare make this sound as its my fault that I didn't go out of my way to collect on something you entered into a contract to pay for, via EBAYS policies. Thanks either way and look at the unnecessary time spent on something that should of been so simple, pay for what you owe, simple as that.
Eagles-vick: No my friend your wrong, you paid for this item well after the 4 day time frame. Item was relisted hours past the 4 day time frame in which auction ended and it was won by yourself and due to be paid for. Check for your self, it was due to be paid for no later than 8:30 am this morning 3-10-15 and Pay Pal clearly shows the actual time in which it was paid for. Don't make this any worse than it has to be. I'll just refund your money and we're done.
ME: This is the worst customer service ever....I am a member of several card forums online and will ensure that everyone knows about this.....Make it worse for me? How is that possible? I paid for my item a few hours after your supposed guidelines due to a personal issue (all within eBay guidelines)...and because you had people who wanted second chance offers, you decided to relist.....I paid for my item, please forward to my address.
Eagles-vick:Refund done. We're done.
How would you guys respond to this??? I won the auction, he never opened a case and just relisted the card because he had other people wanting to buy it. I paid my bill, he thinks he can get a higher price is what I am gathering out of all of this......I am so upset right now........
He since has re-relisted it again.....He originally posted it as an auction with a BIN earlier today, and now after speaking to me, he has relisted it as a BIN OBO, essentially not letting me buy it from him....not that i would trust him any way.....So upset....
