Being pressured to cancel a buy from a member in order to sell to another member for a bigger price

Question

I have been an eBay seller for about a year and haven't experienced this before. I really didn't know the value of what I posted (Disney) and posted for too low a price, which immediately sold. Got a message (and subsequently about 5 messages) from another member asking me to cancel that sale and sell to him, for 3 times the price. To me this is totally unethical, but the second member says it happens all the time. Does anyone have any personal experience with this and does anyone succumb to the "pitch" in order to make a better sale? To me it reeks of unfairness and arrogance in a platform that is supposed to be honest.

Thanks for your input.

Hi @valmce-0

No, it doesn't "happen all the time." You are required to ship to your buyer at the price on the listing per the user agreement you signed.

I would just reply that the item has already been sold and will go to the buyer who purchased it.

You can add the person who contacted you to your blocked buyer list at the link below if you don't want to deal with him again.
