Saw a dress with no bids on it so I won it as the only bidder. It wasn’t an expensive brand so not a really sought after thing but I liked the design so went for it.
they also had a buy it now option for roughly twice what I paid through the auction.
I won the auction and paid immediately but within 10 minutes of the auction ending I get a notification saying seller had cancelled and I would receive a refund.
No message from seller, just the notification from eBay so I messaged to ask.
seller replied saying they messaged eBay because they found a large rip in the dress and it wouldn’t be fair to send it in that condition.
I said thanks for letting me know but I’m a little disappointed to which I got a reply saying I’d be more disappointed if it had turned up with a MASSIVE rip. She then said she was going to take it to be repaired and if it is done well she’d let me know and post it.
There was definitely a tone to her reply but of course I didn’t want to be rude to a complete stranger so I just replied ok thanks for letting me know, good luck with the repair have a good day.
she cancelled the sale so of course she isn’t going to send it! Apart from anything else once the refund is issued
obviously there’s nothing I can do and wouldn’t be able to prove it but I have to say I’m pretty pissed off because personally I think the dress is fine but she just didn’t want to sell it for that price!
if that’s the case don’t lit it for that amount.
im betting that within the next couple of weeks it gets relisted and that’ll happen over and over until she gets the price she wants!
I know in the grand scheme of life it’s a small unimportant thing but it’s these little annoyances that rankle.
