I've been buying 45's lately and having a great time with it. Bought a collection of 50 random for 15.00 from a seller here and loved it. So I bought a collection 0f 100 for 18.89, (Aug 25) also great. Bought another 100 same seller 18.89 on August 31.

The other records arrived very fast. This last collection did not. Tracking number there as of the 31st but no movement at all. I messaged the seller yesterday being concerned that something may have happened. I also looked at the 'original' listing to see what the est delivery times were and here's where it gets weird. The price for the 100 had gone to 99.95 Item 140685894581. Yikes. And I could not get to the original listing at all.

So I checked feedback to see if there was activity, and yes there is. Then I went to the sellers SOLD listings and can't find my item at all for Aug 31st. I also went to Aug 25 when I bought the previous 100, it's not there either.

The seller has not responded and I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. How could this happen? I checked my bank account and the 2 payments of 18.89 are there...no refund for the missing 45's. I am boggled. What should I do next? I know I should wait till the last day of est delivery before opening an INR, and hope I get a response from the seller but how could the sales have vanished like this?

Ebays site has been super glitchy. Can you try contacting the seller through another item listing? Sometimes when the site is being a putz, messages from sold listings move down my ebay inbox

I will try that, thanks for the tip. What I don't get is that my 'buys' have disappeared off the sellers SOLD listings, so how (if there is an issue) do I prove I bought them?

You used paypal or a credit card, I hope....... the payments should show up there.

Is he using a GTC format because they won't show up in solds?

labs118 · ‎09-09-2018

1179 sold pull up your item number & click on the solds
I see 3 purchases of 28.89 not 18.89 with your feedback score on 3 dates, is this you?
They will not show in sold as they are multi quantity listings .
He may have now sold his lot's of less desirable for a lower prices & now the more desirable he is asking more money for.
As for not answering your question that I can't answer for but you sent the message yesterday hopefully he will get back to you soon.

You should always be able to get back to your item via your purchase history, even if a change was made it should say the seller updated this listing but you can view yours here ( or something like that)

Interesting that each of those transactions on the screenshot appears as $28.89, when the OP said the transactions were $15, $18.89 and another $18.89. At least, the OP said the second and third transactions were from the same seller. I wasn't clear whether the first one was.

Weird.

The sales didn't vanish. As noted in the other posts, the listing doesn't show up in the seller's Sold or Completed listings because it's a "Good until canceled" listing that is still active.

If you look at the listing's revision history, you can see that it has a long track record of revisions, including a price revision on August 31. Most likely he's out of stock and doesn't want to have any sales until he's back in stock.

At the top of the listing, you should find a statement noting that the listing has been revised, with a link so you can see how it looked at the time of your purchase.

I don't know why your purchases would show up in the listing's Sold history as $28.89 rather than $18.89. The listing price shows as $28.89 even in the feedback you left for him.

Yes, if you don't hear from the seller, the only thing you can do is wait until after the estimated delivery date and file an INR claim.

"Ebays site has been super glitchy. Can you try contacting the seller through another item listing? Sometimes when the site is being a putz, messages from sold listings move down my ebay inbox."

I tried that and no reply yet.

"You used paypal or a credit card, I hope....... the payments should show up there."

Yes, all the payments are there, including the latest.

"Is he using a GTC format because they won't show up in solds?

Add Tags..." It's not GTC...it's a multiple, appeared as 28.89 for 100 45's...he's sold lots. But I can't find mine.

"You should always be able to get back to your item via your purchase history, even if a change was made it should say the seller updated this listing but you can view yours here ( or something like that) ."

I did that, and it was weird too, it showed NO purchase history...is that normal?

moondogblues · ‎09-09-2018

I am so sorry ....it was 28.89...bad typo bad me. 1st purchase 15.00 for 50 45's, next 2 28.89...got the one fine, it's the other that went into the twilight zone...still no answer from the seller.

moondogblues · ‎09-09-2018

Not sure how you got to my purchase history when I could not....dang.

moondogblues · ‎09-09-2018

Yes, I made a mistake in the original op...100 lot was bought for 28.89. Now it shows as 99.95 to me...you all don't see that? I wanted to buy more, now I am not so sure. So sorry for the confusion. I feel like an idiot and don't like it.

Maybe a bit more Chardonnay will help, but no more buys. And I buy here a lot.
