What can I do about a seller backing out of an offer and cancelling after I'd already ordered?
Today I got a great offer which was over 99% off the BIN price. I claimed it as soon as I saw it, the went to the checkout and payed. About 10 minutes later, the seller cancelled citing "Out of stock or broken". I do not beleive this as I'd just received the offer, why would it suddenly be out of stock or broken? I messaged the seller asking why it was cancelled, and no reply at this point. Was this seller just trolling, and what can I do about this situation?

·2 years agoDid you really, seriously think you were going to get an item going for over $400 for just over $3?
Really?
Did that not seem 'too good to be true' ?
Obviously a mistake, which no matter how quickly you jumped on was still a mistake
You can't do anything, eBay are not going to make the seller sell it to you for that
But as mentioned, the selling will get a big fat defect on their account for doing so

·2 years agoYou've already been told what the punishment will be for the seller.
Put yourself in their shoes, would YOU have sold a $425.00 product for $3.37 ?
I think not.

Nothing you can do about it , but the seller will get a defect for the "out of stock" option to cancel.
