It finally happened to me

I have been selling books (on my other account) for 10 years, and have seen many posts about eBay relisting sold inventory. It finally happened to me with a very unique $50.00 book. Had to cancel. I felt so bad. 😒

 

Update:

OK. I'm an idiot. When I couldn't find the book, I checked my solds and thought I had sold it. But I was seeing the current sale. Ugh. Upon tearing my office apart, I found it in an inappropriate place.

 

So I relisted and wrote my buyer a second note offering him a discount. I hope he comes back. I don't sell many books, mostly sell dishes on 2 other eBay accounts, so I hope this doesn't get me in too much trouble metrics-wise.

So it went from a "ghost listing" to a seller error.

Nice to see someone owning up to their mistake.

Glad you found it.

I hope it turns in to a sale.

Glad you found it.  It has happened before, especially when I moved.

Re: It finally happened to me

Same mistake I made 2 weeks ago.. 

Buyer paid...I couldn't find the Item 

So I canceled and refunded 

My metrics got dinged 0.48% 

As you I found the Item next day

Contacted Buyer and he was Happy and Purchased Again 

But Again I got a slight Account Ding
