Seller did not reveal they are selling for someone else

[snesn]

The problem here is that I have contracted to buy an item from someone who is not actually the seller. The seller has good feedback and so I trusted the item description (eg used but "in perfect condition").

The 'hidden seller' was allowed to list the item with their own description and this hidden seller has, of course, no feedback and I have no basis to judge the trustworthiness of their description.

I feel that I have been mislead (not intentionally but mislead nevertheless) and the transaction is now too risky and may need to be cancelled. Am I entitled to cancel?

Oh my...Mr grey

Poor Aidan, he won't be game to come back into the thread now for fear of disappointing us.:-(

Ah, do I detect that the lynching is beginning? 😮

[forumfool]

The term lynching was my attempt at humour . . . :8}

When it's mentioned in a serious post it doesn't come across as a joke.

Well humour does not go down terribly well when you or anyone else lectures the posters who tried for many posts to make the OP see that they were in the wrong.  There have been at least a dozen posts by the OP removed for calling us Trolls and Shills, and there are still several left.

Apologies. 

The point I was trying to make was that given the suggestions - and acknowledging that I myself benefited from being reminded was hoping not to be taken to task for suggesting that people chose their words carefully.

By the way, I was ONE of the posters trying to make the OP see that he was being unreasonable (and unpleasant).

Austeam and Iza, maybe you should go back to the very first page of this thread.  The OP was determined to be nasty from post #2 and has continued along the same track all the way through.

Is it really acceptable to you to see one of our well respected members called a Troll because she gave a correct answer that the OP did not want to hear?

It is not acceptable to me to see any member no matter how long they have been posting on the boards being called something they are not, but just as many who rarely visit boards don't know what a numpty is they also don't know what a troll is, and as I recall the OPs reason for calling the members here trolls showed a lack of understanding of the word.

I think he knows but even if he doesn't I think he has amused himself by giving us hell.

[forumfool]

Giving us hell?  Don't give him that satisfaction!
