Hello eBayers,
Just trying to get clarification on a current issue I had. I won an auction on a Friday, when I went to pay for the item, there was an issue with the card I was using through Paypal. I had to address the issue with my bank on Monday. Seller sent me an invoice and opened up a non-payment case on Sunday. I sent the seller a message on Monday which he/she said they did not receive to let them know the issue. The case said I had until Thursday to make payment. My issue was fixed on Tuesday and when I paid for the item on Wednesday the seller refunded my money saying the item had been relisted and was already purchased and shipped to another buyer. Seller said he/she needed the money and after getting no response from me, he/she relisted the item. After a little digging I find the item was relisted on Monday and bought on Monday. I'm confused as to the conditions of the case since the only way to alleviate the case is to pay for the item but the seller can then relist the item during the case period and sell it to someone else? I did contact the seller who kept saying he/she needed the money and he/she didn't have the item anymore so there. I'm a little bitter and would like clarification on the "case" regulations and why a seller can just sell an item you won while you are arranging payment within the stated timeline. Any information would be great, thanks.
