  1. I don't want to deal with the hassle of finding out where your desire to save money and the principle of keeping your commitment to purchase something actually intersect. (shrug)

     

    Exactly!

     

    A buyer clicking the "buy it now" on Ebay does not mean,secure the product and renegotiate at a later date (only if the item goes down in price).

     

    If being butthurt over losing $10-$20,you shouldn't be in this hobby.

     

    The good thing for me is...he paid more than 45 days ago so he can't put in a claim against me with Paypal. He could leave me a negative (which looking at his "feedback left for sellers link",he is known to do) but hopefully Ebay would review the emails back and forth and see the guy was trying to reneg on the deal and wipe away the negative.

     

    Let me say the following to you.

     

    It sucks that it happened to you. All I said is I could see his point of view. Not that I agreed that he should go around stiffing people. Whoever wants to interpret it like that. so be it.

  2. Great. I answer your questions but you won't answer mine.

     

    Once again, so that everyone can hear it...

     

    You pre-order at 1000. No ifs or buts.

     

    The item drops to 1 before the item is launched.

     

    You can cancel and order at 1.

     

    Do you?

     

    No "Oh I'm so smart I know how to invest"

     

    Just yes. Or no.

     

    And they are free to add me.

     

    People that I buy from know that I've never reneged on a deal and I've always paid.

     

    So whatever.

  3. And I do realise we are talking about eBay, but you still didn't answer my question.

     

    You keep wanting people to answer your "what if" questions.

     

    Why don't YOU try answering this "what if" question that's been asked (and ignored) several times already?

     

     

    He wouldn't answer me when I asked him if he would be mad if I asked him for more money if the books had gone up in value.

     

    Yes I would be mad. And I wouldn't buy it. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened. That's the risk you take as a seller correct? You lose a buyer for an item if you ask for too much.

     

    How about from a seller's point of view then. Let's say you pre-order at $200. Demand goes through the roof and the going rate jumps up to $350. Should the seller cancel your order and sell it to someone else for $350? Would he be taking a $150 hit by honoring the $200 sale?

     

    Once again has happened to me before with Amazon. Pre-ordered a game at £20 and they refused to sell it to me for that price. Final price for the game £54. So, yes I refused to buy it from them.

     

    Once again it's the risk.

     

    Opinions are like individual_without_enough_empathys. Everyone has one and they don't all smell nice.

  4. Buzzetta, block away.

    If having an opinion in a forum is such an issue for you then block.

     

    And I do realise we are talking about eBay, but you still didn't answer my question.

     

    All you said was you wouldn't pay 1 for a 1000 item.

     

    Great cop out.

     

    Tell me your eBay Id as well so I never have the misfortune of seeing your store.

     

    Edit: and I've never reneged on my deals. And I wasn't saying if I found a price lower somewhere else. I was saying at the same seller.

  5. Comic Kings is not in the wrong here. I see this a lot during SDCC season. Toy sellers will offer pre-orders to obtain the announced exclusives. If you agree to the immediate price you are guaranteed the set of whatever it is you want. If you want to wait and see what the demand is on certain items then you are running the risk of not getting them.

     

    It is poor form to pay the price and be at the front of the line and then ask for a refund.

     

    Let me put it a different way. Imagine buying a fast pass at Disney. This gets you to the front of the line. The day you are there the park attendance is low and the fast pass doesn't really matter. Does this mean you get to keep the fast pass but get a discount ? No.

     

    Comic Kings, you have two ways to play this.

     

    1 - Cancel the order and never deal with the person again.

     

    2 - Hold him to it and if push comes to shove, call eBay and go up the ladder, ask them to read their emails and win the case when the inevitable happens and he files an item not as described case.

     

    Personally... I would cancel the order and refund all the money in this case because you have not shipped any product out yet and I would NEVER deal with this person again.

     

    The guy sells also...so I looked at something he had for $17.99 with free shipping...another guy on Ebay had it for $11 after shipping..same condition...I asked him if I bought his and found it somewhere else (not 7 weeks later) would he send me a refund for the difference? I told him to look at it from my perspective. That was asking too much. Now i'm the worst dealer on Ebay. Whatever...blocked

     

    I'm not saying what he did was right. But and thos is for you too buzetta.

     

    You pre-order something off amazon. It's 200 USD. That's what you'll pay.

     

    The price drops to 50 before the item is launched. It's still pre order.

     

    Do you cancel your order or take a 150 USD hit?

     

    Answer honestly.
