Seller failed to deliver.

Hi all, bid and won an item yesterday, fair and square, paid by Paypal, next thing I get a cancellation request from the seller, wanting to cancel, as I failed to pay by bank deposit. He does not have card facilities, he claims just bank deposit or nothing, yet when I confirmed the listing, Ebay has it that he does accept Paypal, but he I found he does not have a Paypal account, which by the rules he must have, or at least a card facility. So, I go in and check my Paypal payment, and yes, he doesn't have an account, as it was marked that the buyer hasn't claimed the payment. I realized this was going nowhere, so I just cancelled the payment within Paypal. He got what he wanted, for the sale to be cancelled, doing so, wasting my time. After the auction ended I got an abusive message from him about demanding bank deposit, not Paypal, and said he would just 'keep the item''. I asked why he wanted bank deposit only, was it that the item, a model train, was defective, even though he listed it as ''used, but new'', whatever that means. I told him that buyers like to have a bit of protection from seelers such as him, and bank deposit leaves us buyers out in the cold when things go belly up. Anyway, the best part to this little event is this: He had another listing to ''go off' later last night, I got straight in before that and put a torpedo right into his dashboard. The item had 12 bids on it and was sitting at $165, an hour before it was due to end. It ended with the same bidder and didn't get past the $165. The winning bidder was a low score buyer that has had many bid cancellations in the last 6 months. I feel much better about this wasted  time now lol

Also, when I try to ask this mug a question, it gives me the message that this seller cannot answer questions at the moment. What does this mean, account restricted, or whatever? Maybe Ebay is finally onto him?

Could he have blocked you? I just sent a message no problem. Asked him about combined postage.

He's probably blocked you. Try placing a bid and you'll get an error message as well.

He replied to my message, so I think you may have been blocked. Did you get my PM audistar?

Hi Tippy, yes, just replied. He probably has me blocked, if he knows how to do that that is lol. He has worked out how to crop a screen shot on his later listings, but the earlier ones are still giving the game away. I will try and bid. I have been a real thorn in his side, like a dog with a bone, and I/m not done with him yet.

'Someone' with 0 feedback has today bid on 4 of his items. It seems the bids are only on items that have pre-existing bids, probably a move to get the other bidders to bid higher.

 

I wonder who could be the mystery 'someone'?

I guess the proof will be when the auctions end. Experienced shill bidders don't allow their shill account to win the auctions. That defeats the purpose. Often the shill accounts will bid, and then retract the bid, purely to see how much the high bidder has bid. They could then use another account to bid just under that amount. For inexperienced buyers, that could force them to increase their bid, thinking they could miss out.

The proof will be in the relist, particularly how soon it follows.
