Won auction yesterday for lovely dress by a brand which generally holds its value very well when resold as used, so I was pleasantly surprised to pick it up for a fairly small sum.
This evening there's a message saying that the seller has noticed a paint-mark on the dress, they are refunding me, and can I please send them a message instructing them to refund me on account of newly discovered mark. They mention in passing that they'll have to re-list the item.
This is the third time this has happened to me; I have won an auction for a low winning bid, the seller has suddenly discovered a fault with the item, and cancelled the sale.
I have responded saying that I probably still want it and asked for a picture of the paint-mark. Paint-mark or not, surely it should be up to me to decide whether I want something or not?
Am I being paranoid, or is this a way of cancelling a sale in order to re-list in the hope of a better sale at a later date?
