Hello all,
I thought I would ask the group a simple question, "Am I being an unreasonable dick with regards to the following situation."
First, the auction: What is this item worth for those who have bought them before.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&view=all&item=180511097713&tid=0
Second, here is the message I recieved after the auction closed and I sent the payment via paypal via a transaction cancelation request:
This case has been opened by the seller with the following reason: Other.
Additional information provided by the seller: I am selling this item for my son. It did not go high enough for him to part with it, so i refunded
your money and hope that this does not cause any inconvenience to you. This item is rare and he would
rather keep it than to settle for $142.50 for it.
Thanks you,
(name removed to protect me with ebay)
Third, I responded:
Regrettably, I would have to decline your request to cancel this transaction. I routinely see these
go for 150-200 and while the price is lower than usual, it is not greatly lower than the norm. I'm
not sure what price your son was hoping to get with this item, but the BIN prices of 300 that some
list is not a realistic value. In the future, I would recommend using a reserve, or BIN to ensure
an acceptable price. Please resend the invoice so that I may pay for the item again. Thank you.
And Fourth and Fifth, I got these two responses:
Regrettably you have to decline the request to cancel....in the future i should add a reserve to my auctions.....resend the invoice so you can pay for the item????????? What part of my son decided not to sell the item didnt you understand???? It is a bull shit move on your part to decline the cancellation request. He is not selling the item....and yet you could care less that i will still have to eat auction fees for this item. We dont care to have an educational speech from you about what these signs go for....the bidding was not high enough for him....for whatever reason it has nothing to do with what other signs are going for.....and he doesnt want to sell it. I have been doing business on Ebay way longer than you have and do not need a lesson from you. I would never decline another ebayers request to decline. You are a real Tool!!!!
(Fifth) By the way Tool...your money has already been refunded......jerkoff!!!
Am I being an unreasonable asshole to hold this guy to selling just because he is unhappy with the results. I'm asking you guys before I call ebay or respond to this fine ebay seller.
Thanks in advance guys, regardless of your opinion.
