pacificpikachuHave to rant about this because it's seriously weird and makes me mad. Could use some advice! Or maybe I just want to share and get opinions, I don't know.
I won the Grand Party Pokémon card on Ebay six days ago for around $47 including shipping. I was excited to win it after dreaming of having it for so long. After no contact from the seller for those six days, I received a message today saying that they sold the item at Japanese auction to another buyer. What? I won it fairly and paid for the item immediately, what do you mean you sold it at Japanese auction? They're trying to cancel the transaction. I don't think this is fair at all. The card was up for auction, not on Buy It Now.
I feel like maybe they wanted to get more for the card because the exchange rate is so awful and I won it for starting bid. But after I already won it and paid for it, that just does not seem like an excuse. They should have put a reserve on it if they didn't want to sell it for that price.
For now I declined the cancel transaction request because I want to see if I can still get the card. I have a bad feeling it already went off to whoever won it in Japan (but maybe not, I can hope), but it's worth a shot. I was so excited to win this card for such a good price and I feel that this is totally unfair!
