Seller messaged me after I won her auction to explain she listed the handbag as vanilla when in fact the handbag is white. She didnt apologize but said i should know it was an error by looking at her pictures. In all pictures, the handbag looks beige.I told her the handbag was my daughter's birthday present and she wanted a beige/off white handbag (she could wear it year round; white she can't) plus, she has 3 white handbags. I explained all of this to the seller. I suggested she ask the 2nd highest bidder if they were interested. She claimed they weren't interested then basically begged me to go thru with the sale. Bottom line: I wasn't in the market for a white handbag. I would not have paced a bid if I knew the handbag was white. I realize mistakes happen but I shouldn't have to pay for an item that was misrepresented. Also, I shouldn't have to worry she'll file a claim on me. I would have thought she'd understand I don't want the bag now due to her mistake but she's trying to "guilt" me into paying for something I no longer want due to her accidental listing error. I know you can't revise a listing with bids on it but wasn't there a way all the bidders could have been made aware of the listing error? Look at the pictures - does it look white to you? ALL advice is appreciated - please be brutally honest.
