Qwerty1291 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 if you bid on the auction and won, and the seller wants you to pay, you gotta pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 if you bid on the auction and won, and the seller wants you to pay, you gotta pay. I CAN'T! -.- he's overpriced the S/H and the card wasn't even mint... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsofthelord Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Try asking the seller to do a second chance on it. IE let the second highest bidder buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johannas Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 When you win an auction you enter into a legal contract to pay. All you can do is ignore and get negative feedback, however it is not in the spirit of the website not to pay. Surely the pokemon card wasn't much? Just pay and then relist it, you should make similar money back. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouchy Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Tell him that your younger brother bidded on it, and you don't want to buy it. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johannas Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It's 10 bucks - get over it. It is illegal not to pay... Just relist it like i said, you should make a very small loss. Thank you to tripsis for an awesome sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wordsofthelord Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 It might matter if you plan on usisng that ebay account to bid again. Negitive feedback for not buying what you won can affect you sometimes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star_Fox Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Do people still collect Pokemon cards? i'm only buying the old pokemon cards for nostalgia. and second, i'm not spending hundreds of dollars on it. after buying four cards, i'm pretty much going to stop. It might matter if you plan on usisng that ebay account to bid again. Negitive feedback for not buying what you won can affect you sometimes if thats the case, i can make a new account using my other email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetset516 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If he won't listen, accept negative feedback, or relist it. I don't think buyers can get negged anymore. Ebay stopped it because too many sellers were abusing the system using it as a bargaining chip. At any rate, offer him the $2 bucks he paid to list the item. You're still breaking the contract as was said, but at least that way no harm, no foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeg0477 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 You bid on it, you won, you pay. Plain and simple. As far as the new account goes, you'll have to use your "other" name and billing address as well as email. If you don't plan on paying, don't bid in the first place :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordkafei Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 The guy who was selling the card is going to get billed by eBay, though, for seller's & listing fees. There is harm done. If you bid, you should pay. You knew the s/h before you bid. You are just using that to indulge in buyer's remorse. :shame: PvP is not for meIn the 3rd Year of the BoycottReal-world money saved since FT/W: Hundreds of DollarsReal-world time saved since FT/W: Thousands of Hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star_Fox Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 my conclusion, i'm not going to pay for the item. i'll try to work it out with the seller and plus, my friend had this problem too and he managed to get through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiriyama Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 [hide=Can I retract or cancel my bid?]When you place a bid or use "Buy It Now", you enter a binding contract. It is possible for you to cancel a bid you've placed before the end of an auction, but only in the exceptional circumstances listed below. Please note that the number of times you've retracted a bid is displayed in your feedback profile. It's against eBay rules to withdraw from a purchase after the listing has ended. Learn more about what you can do after the end of the listing. To cancel a bid, fill in the Bid Retraction form. Youll be asked to provide a reason why you'd like to cancel your bid. The available reasons are: * Entered wrong amount * Seller changed item description * Cannot contact the seller Important: Your seller can object to the reason you gave for retracting the bid. For example: You cancel a bid because you entered the wrong amount, but subsequently don't place another bid with the correct amount. In this case your seller may report that your retraction reason was invalid. We may then take action on your account if we also feel the retraction was invalid. See Invalid Bid Retraction for more information about what counts as invalid bid retraction and what action we may take. Note: If you need to cancel a bid quickly because it was placed by someone using your password without your authorisation, please choose "Entered Wrong Amount" as your retraction reason, then let us know about the account theft so we can investigate. Timing Matters * Up to twelve hours before the end of the listing: All bids you've placed on that item will be automatically cancelled when you submit the form. * During the last twelve hours of the listing: Your most recent bid will be automatically cancelled, as long as you placed it in the last hour. If you want to cancel a bid you placed more than an hour ago, please ask the seller to cancel your bid. eBay can't cancel your bid for you. Why arent there more bid retraction reasons on the bid retraction form? Every bid on eBay is binding (unless the item is listed in a category under the Non-Binding Bid Policy or the transaction is prohibited by law or by eBay's User Agreement). You should only bid on multiple identical items if you intend to buy all of the items. We always advise that you read the item description and check the seller's feedback carefully before bidding or using "Buy It Now". If you have any questions about a listing, contact the seller by going to the View Item page and clicking on the "Ask Seller a Question" link. We investigate reports of invalid bid retractions thoroughly. Sellers and other bidders can be seriously inconvenienced by retracted bids. What if you have a different reason for wanting to retract your bid? If you want to withdraw your bid for any other reason than those given above (for example, a family member placed the bid using your account or you simply changed your mind), please explain the situation to your seller in the first instance. It's up to the seller whether they choose to cancel your bid for you. If they don't cancel your bid and you subsequently win the item but don't pay for it, the seller may file an Unpaid Item Dispute against you. If someone has fraudulently placed a bid using your User ID and password, please cancel the bid by choosing "Entered Wrong Amount" as your retraction reason, then let us know about the account theft so we can investigate. What if the auction (or Buy It Now listing) has ended? If the listing has ended and youd like to withdraw from the purchase for any reason, you should explain the situation to your seller and ask them to agree to mutual withdrawal from the sale. If they agree, they can file an Unpaid Item Dispute and state that you both agreed to withdraw from the sale. Theyll then receive a credit for the fees they were charged when you won the item. In addition, as long as they state you both agreed to withdraw from the sale, and you confirm this when asked by eBay, you won't get an Unpaid Item Strike against your account.[/hide] Took it from the eBay site. Maybe you should have looked at the "Help" portion of the site. Denizen of Darkness| PSN= sworddude198 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
