Seller retracting purchase
I bid on, won and paid for a pair of lamps. The auction started at $0.99 with no reserve. Seller just notified me that “they are not soldâ€, she wants $900.00. What are my rights?

Mentor3 years agoHi @nokymagpie
Sadly, you have no 'rights' to the lamps if the seller refuses to ship ... as eBay has no legal way to force the seller to honor your win. [eBay isn't able to force a buyer to pay either.] eBay is only able to penalize members who don't play by the rules ... and your seller received a 'defect' when they cancelled.
You can leave the seller the feedback you feel they deserve, however.

OP3 years agoThank you for your answer. That is unfortunate but I understand now that Ebay can’t do anything to force the seller to ship the lamps. Hopefully they will force him to refund my payment since he still hasn't done that.
