Perhaps E-bay should list how many times a seller has 'cancelled' a sale. And put a rating on that! I'm surprised they don't have a policy in place--don't they miss out on their commission when the sale is pulled? How many sellers use E-bay as free advertisement...

BTW Rick--ya' gotta put back that 'but' ugly piece of pizza for your avatar--then no mistakes! LOL

or the Bears logo .. ...

Done Miss Nicole,for you & Kevins sake.

A lil progress was made today,thanks to the help of a few on this website,who know a few people with some legal power.
And eBay called me back as well with some news too.Turns out I may have a leg to stand on still.
Because of all this,I will not post info about the person who wronged me.....just yet anyway.
Stay tuned.

Ahh, it was just me channeling DB about the pizza. Have fun with your avatar!

Good you are getting better news. Hope it works out in the end...

Well this just stinks.
It looks like the final word has come down from all involved and absolutely nothing is going to happen to him.
I won't get the item I won,and the seller won't be punished,suspended or banned,& all in the eBay world goes on as normal.

With this kind of treatment,why does an eBay seller even bother to list something with a reserve,or a high starting price?
Just start your auction for one dollar,and see what the final bid turns out to be.If it's not to your liking,you can just refuse to sell it and hold onto it,as nothing will be done to you per what eBay has shown me.
Unreal..

I went though this a few years ago with a boat lift I purchased on ebay. What I learned out of the deal was that you cannot make somebody sell you something, even if it was purchased on ebay. I put a ton of effort into trying to get my boat lift with no success. In the end my money was refunded to me and I was out a bunch of time. Sorry to say this, but move on.

"who is the seller" so none of the rest of us has too go thru this? .. ...

There will be another one.Probably better and cheaper.

this is tough ,hopefully it works out for you cold pizzza

What he said

Nothing has changed at all,ebay won't do anything and the seller continues to sell.Coward won't reply to me.
He lives in Lake Geneva Wisc. and his name is Mark Snape...NHRAMARK on eBay.

It happened again.
Seller had a BUY It NOW price in his auction for a week.I hit it and paid him right away for what I believe was an overvalued price anyway,but I had to have it.I asked him for shipping tracking # once sent out.
2 hours later seller returns my payment and said it broke.
I asked for pictures of broken item,he told me his wife threw it away..Keep in mind this is all no more then 6 hours after auction ended.

Evidently you are on his radar?

Completely different seller this time Kevin.

Happened to me 2 times during the past month on e-Bay. Bought an item overseas and paid for it. The seller returned my payment. I sent him a message and resent the payment. He again, refunded my payment and refused to honor the auction. I left him a negative feedback. In the end, I was out almost $50.00 because of the currency exchange. You get a lower currency exchange rate on a refund then on a purchase. what a day...I got ripped off by the seller, e-Bay and Paypal all in one day!

Had another seller cancel our transaction after I paid. I was able to leave a negative feedback. However, e-Bay removed it a few days later.

I'm beginning to question the whole eBay thing. Shipping charges are through the roof and then add the exchange rate that we Canadians have to pay (1.38 presently). Then at the border we have to pay another 12% in taxes. A $100.00 purchase costs me $150.00 with the exchange and taxes. I've cut my buying back.
