Offers and acceptance

When the buyer submits an offer to the seller and both agree to the terms of the offer, eBay should ensure the conditions are satisfied and the transaction is completed. My recent offer and conditions was accepted by the seller but the conditions were not met by the seller as the item was to include free shipping with the purchase and I was unable to complete the purchase as shipping was being added at checkout. Ebay was of no help as they directed me back to the seller who said to let it lapse and the order will automatically cancel.

Makes me look like I reneged on the deal not the seller.

Offers are ALWAYS postage exempt. As in, they don't apply to quoted postage.

 

If you made an offer quoting 'free' postage, the seller quite rightly denied it.

 

You did renege, as you failed to understand how offers work.

 

 

As already said, offers don't include postage.

If you wanted free postage (which actually does not exist, as postage is included in the price of the item when a listing says "free postage"), you should have made a lower offer (your actual offer minus postage).

You did renege

 

And now want to blame the seller

 

And cost them a genuine say

 

When the buyer buys, yes, the should have to pay the whole amount

 

 

 

You are right, eBay won’t do anything about fake bidders

 

Sellers can block those who not only out themselves as one, but also blame the seller for it
