srsly? wtf did you tell him?
o i c.
wtf kinda liar are you? lol.
You’re only gonna dig yourself deeper, and seem really shady via eBay to the buyer if you try to elaborate from here.
Just refund the money, take the neg feedback, and attach an explanation to the feedback saying “You wuoldn’t ship an item that you knew was damaged”.
haha this reminds me of dane cook vicious circle. he did a whole act on getting caught lying. regardless goodluck.
I guess next time you will use a reserve, or start the bidding off at your min price. 
send him the wrong one like 3 imes he will get sick of sending it back
first of all thats what you get with ebay.
umm just tell him you sold the items to some one else.
the sad thing is… all you fuckers who are posting these “suggestions” would bitch up a storm if you were on the other end of this
man up, grow a sack, its your fault for not setting a reserve on it… oh well boo hooo move on and get the sand out of your vagina…
i got half a mind to just PM this thread to whoever won your auction and show him
Not at all. I’ve been on that end. How do you get worked up over ebay?? I mean come on. If you decide you want more money or don’t want to sell you can. If the guy was in front of you and you had a price of $200 on it, you can say well i want more now. It’s yours so you can do whatever you want.
Shit happens, move on.
fuck that, this isnt an inperson garage sale… its ebay… which IS a legally binding contract between the bidder and seller. Now to be honest on a 300 dollar PS nobody is going to challenge the legality of that contract. but none the less it is a classless act to try to get out of selling it at a lower price on ebay because you forgot to put a reserve on it… sorry. but thats the truth
No, ebay is not a legally binding contract. Just because someone used it on Judge Judy doesn’t mean that in the real world it is. I agree that it is a bit tacky to just stiff someone like that, but it’s his choice.
I won’t wrote an essay on why it’s not, but if you think it is do some research.
I know viper, and im sure if you got $100 more on an item, youd NEVER even think of doing what im doing. Im such a classless douche bag! Fuck…i should just kill myself. Shit happens man. Being on his side would suck, and being on mine sucks just as much. Dont really care what you have to say outside of that.

There will be no more weasling out of eBay sales after a judge today ruled against a man who has been refusing to hand over a $250,000 vintage plane he sold on the online auction site.
In a case that reached the NSW Supreme Court, Peter Smythe sued Vin Thomas after he changed his mind on the sale of a 1946 World War II Wirraway plane after the eBay auction had ended.
The plane is understood to be one of five in the world still flying.
Acting judge Nigel Rein, handing down his judgment today, ruled against Thomas and ordered him to hand over the plane for the agreed amount.
The date of the handover will be decided next week.
“It follows that, in my view, a binding contract was formed between the plaintiff and the defendent and that it should be specifically enforced,” Justice Rein said in his decision.
The judgment sets a precedent for future cases and means eBay sales could now be legally binding.
A judge had last year ruled the plane could not be moved from its hangar in Albury until the dispute was settled.
Smythe, an Adelaide war-plane enthusiast, was the only person to bid on the item, matching the $150,000 reserve price just seconds before the auction ended in August last year.
But Thomas, a radilologist from Albury, had already agreed to sell the plane to someone else for $100,000 more than Smythe’s offer. Smythe took him to court hoping a judge would force Thomas to follow through with the sale.
Before the ruling was handed down, eBay spokesman Daniel Feiler was adamant that any decision would have no impact on public confidence in the auction site.
“It has always been our understanding that you are entering into a binding contract when you are listing an item and someone has made a bid on the item,” he said, but added real estate sales were an exception because bids on houses were only expressions of interest.
“If someone has a repeated behaviour of not purchasing or refusing to sell the item once the thing has ended, normally we’ll reach out and educate them in the first instance but if they then show a repeated habit of not fulfilling their commitments then they get suspended from the site,” he said.
Feiler added eBay sellers had the option to reject any bids before an auction closed and encouraged both buyers and sellers to examine feedback history before proceeding with a transaction.
eBay has 5 million Australian members and 17,000 of those make their primary living from selling there, according to ACNielsen.

Seller Non-Performance Policy
Sellers are expected to consistently perform in a manner that results in a high level of buyer satisfaction. If a seller’s interactions with buyers result in greater than a 5% level of buyer dissatisfaction, as evidenced by negative/neutral feedback and/or Item Not Received complaints received over the recent 90-day period, the seller is in violation of the Seller Non-Performance policy. Please note that although we are not including Detailed Seller Ratings at this time, we will be using them in the future.
When a seller lists an item on eBay, and a buyer bids for and wins that item, the seller and buyer have entered into a contract that both members are expected to honor. If the seller doesn’t live up to this agreement, it leads to a bad buyer experience and may result in negative or neutral feedback for the seller. Good practices that help sellers promote buyer satisfaction include:
Accurately describing the condition, size and quality of the item directly in the listing.
Honoring the original terms by accepting payment for an item at the end of a successful sale.
Promptly shipping the item with appropriate packaging once payment has been received.
Responding promptly and professionally to questions from the buyer.
Proactively communicating with the buyer throughout the transaction.
Issuing refunds in a timely manner when accepting returns or when there are problems with delivery.
Violations of this policy by a seller may result in a range of actions, including:
Listing cancellation
Limits on account privileges
Account suspension
Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
Selling fee schedule adjustments
Loss of PowerSeller status
Referral to Law Enforcement
Thanks for the Australian court ruling.
You proved yourself wrong with this part right here:
Violations of this policy by a seller may result in a range of actions, including:
* Listing cancellation * Limits on account privileges * Account suspension * Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings * Selling fee schedule adjustments * Loss of PowerSeller status <b><i>* Referral to Law Enforcement</i></b>
Ebay never actually informed any authority figure about about the lack of payment, the seller filed a law suit. Find a US court case that sets precedent for Ebay auctions, and maybe you can make an argument.
But what if you sell something to an Australian from America and then want to recant?
