Ebay seller

I bid on a pc game and won the item. I get home this morning and checked my e-mail. Got a message from seller asking me not to pay for item cuz he was out of stock. Then got an e-mail from ebay saying that the seller and i had a mutual agreement to cancel because i bidded on item in error. It kinda pisses me off that he would say it was my error just so he can get his fees back. I'm almost thinking that since i won the game so cheap that's why he's saying it's out of stock. I responded to ebay and told them we didn't have a mutual agreement because why post something for sale if you don't have it. Is that wrong of me to do? Is this normal for ppl to do on ebay?

UGH! Sorry you are going thru that. I dont have a clue. I stopped buying and selling on Ebay a few yrs ago. People are just crazy and I couldnt take it anymore!!!!! :)

I would leave a negative and not agree to end the auction. That is ridiculous. He is violating the rules by selling something he doesn't have in stock. You can report him.

Did you forward his email to ebay? If not, it'd be a good thing to do. I agree neg him! He violated ebay's TOS now let him suffer the consequences.

I agree.. I am an ebayer.. both selling and buying.. that is bad business what he just did..

I would forward his email and leave neg. feedback. It may save someone else the hassle of dealing with this seller.

I concurr with all the others....forward email and leave neg feedback

I certainly would not agree to that either. That is putting the blame for the canceling of the transaction on you.

I agree w/ the others, let us know what ebay says, that is bad business that he went ahead and told them you had a mutual agreement... especially when that was news to you :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and forwarded the message. I think it's total bs also.
