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?

Just thought of something else-the seller could've ticked the box to display all of the OP's um er um 'questions' & every single one would have been on public display at the bottom of the listing forever & ever amen.

No but it was an option for the seller & the OP ticked a box to say they'd agreed with ebays T & C yet they now want to complain about so called 'private' emails.

Anyway,this is just getting boring lol

reminds me of a story

a "connoiseur of dining establishments" spots a fine vintage collectable item in fantastic condition on an auction website.  does a deal with another person to supply said item, and pocket a handsome personal profit upon subsequent delivery of same.  goes ahead, bids and wins item.

deal falls through, whereupon bidder/supplier of same is left facin' egg-on-face situation, rather than to be out of pocket, dishonourably chooses to go lookin' for some/any excuse not to pay

do you know that story, snezzo

A seller who, interestingly enough, was also selling on behalf of someone else.

And made that fact totally clear. Honestly the inanity of many of these post is both unbelievable and all too believable.

Sorry, snes. I had to work. But I'm home now.

you say that you're not prepared to view the item, how would you know that the item isn't exactly as described, sport
