I don't really like Ebay, but as almost everybody else, I have there once in a while. I stumble upon a fun team set for a low price with free shipping. I placed a bid and I was the only bidder at the end and I won it at starting price. I paid immediately using Paypal and more than 10 days later, the item was not shipped and I received no communication from the seller.  I PMed the seller, no reply neither. Three days after I place a formal refund request, I got a "I'll keep them for that price" message. Still no refund. He's keeping the item and my money. In my book, we call it a thief, I know that I'll probably be refunded by Ebay or Paypal someday, but here's a good reason why it is hard for me to really appreciate that site with such crooks operating freely there. They can write everywhere that auctions are legally binding contracts and such, what it stops there and it is not enforced? It is clearly a crook, but a respectable seller would have used a reserve price, a higher starting price or keep the item for himself, if he doesn't want to take the risk to sell low. It is part of the game and it is not fun when someone you play with is cheating.

Yeah that is definitely not right at all. I'd be absolutely furious if that happened to me. They will definitely incur some sort of repercussions or penalty for doing that without just cause and you will most certainly get your money back through eBay if he is not forced to himself. Make sure you leave feedback that fits the character of this person so everyone else will know to buy at their own risk.

Never had an issue with FeeBay but you should message their customer support and get a case going. Also if you paid with PayPal you can have them refund you. 

The seller has no choice if you file a claim that it was never shipped. Ebay will refund you automatically.

My latest ebay experience wasn't as bad ----

At least an attempt to send my cards happened

Instead of NASCAR cards, eventhough a packing list was included, received a hand full of

autographed Tennis star cards....

Did get a quick refund...

Apparently, the other buyer has his cards sent to a storage site...

As of yesterday, still doesn't know he didn't get the correct cards....

Huh?

I typically have had good luck with ebay over the years. But I always look at the seller's feedback before bidding. If others have had problems with them, I don't even bother. Don't need the aggravation. 

I do read them too, but I got burned this time. His feedback % just dropped and then Feebay will probably refund me someday. It just s*cks, but I guess this is part of the game.

IMHO it depends on the type of "problem" some people out there are real difficult to deal with and won't ever be satisfied no matter what a seller does .
