Bear with me on this one please, being something of an Ebay novice. I won an auction on some bike bits at the weekend. Now, within 24 hours of winning, the seller has opened a case to cancel the purchase claiming that they have sold the items to someone else. In a second message they have contacted me asking when they will receive payment… Now where do I stand on this one? I would have thought that they should honour the sale to me, as winner of the auction, and that 24 hours is not an unreasonable length of time to wait for payment. I have declined their “request” to cancel the purchase as I would like the bits, won the auction, and intend to pay the winning bid for them. What are my options & what would you do?
FWIW – the bits were not exactly a steal, a pretty fair price I thought, and the seller has good feedback etc.
Thanks for any advice, seasoned ebay veterans.
